On the night of February 22–23, 2014 representatives of the Kiev Patriarchate threatened the forcible seizure of the Kiev [[Pechersk Lavra]]. On the evening of the 22nd, on Maidan, its representatives propagated false information about the "threat" of the removal of the church valuables of Kiev Pechersk Lavra from Ukraine. Starting from the stage at Maidan and moving on to social networking sites, provocative appeals began to be circulated: "Guys, everybody to Lavra now! The monks are taking the icons out of Lavra to Russia! Never let them do that; never allow such a thing! We must intervene!"  As a result, a group of representatives from the Maidan Self-Defense Force went to Lavra.
