According to him, the police received "information that events related to the violation of public order are taking place on the territory of the monastery."
“The Ministry of Internal Affairs officers quickly arrived at the specified institution, who, when questioning the guards and the monastery’s employees, found that the information about the violation of public order was untrue,” Gorelykh said.
According to media reports, a 24-hour duty was previously introduced in the monastery involving Cossacks at the request of the shiigumen, the legal abbess, nun Varvara (Krygin), was actually removed from the management of the monastery, Romanov, who was the confessor of the monastery.
In the Yekaterinburg diocese of RIA Novosti, they explained that the abbess left the monastery with her sisters due to the fact that she did not share the position of Scheme Sergius.
A spokesman for the Russian president Dmitry Peskov, answering journalists' questions, noted that the Kremlin did not monitor the situation in the Sredneuralskiy convent.
Sam Shegumen, Sergius, speaking of allegations of the seizure of the monastery, said that such statements sound strange, since he always took an active part in the life of the monastery and built it with the abbess for 18 years.
According to him, he is currently in the monastery for the sake of his "spiritual children" - nuns and novices. He emphasized that he did not want to leave them, as they were going to transfer the monastery under the direction of the confessor of the Novo-Tikhvin monastery.
At the end of May, the Yekaterinburg diocese banned priesthood and deprived them of the right to wear the pectoral cross of Scheme Humeius Sergius.
