RUSSIAN TSAR VENERATED IN UKRAINE



A Way of Cross was held in Kiev yesterday to commemorate the 88th anniversary of the assassination of the Russian Royal Family by Bolsheviks. Tsar Nicholas II and his Family were canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church as martyrs for faith. Crowds of the faithful participated in the Way of Cross in the capital of the Ukraine on 17 July, day when the Family of the Tsar had been shot in the basement of the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg. The outpouring of monarchist sentiments yesterday in Kiev shows to the failure of the Ukrainian nationalistic ideology.
