A pro-Russian woman, fanatical believer of Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchy), attacks an activist mocking Russian President Vladimir Putin during a protest of Ukrainian nationalists at Kiev-Pecherskaya Lavra Cathedral in Kiev on January 8, 2018. After Ukraine gained independence in 1991, a conflict erupted between the Ukrainian Orthodox Church backed by Moscow and a breakaway Kiev-based Ukrainian Orthodox Church now led by Patriarch Filaret. The rift was highlighted earlier this month after it was reported in Ukraine a bereaved father punched a priest from the Moscow-led church after he allegedly refused to bury his young son who died in a freak accident.
