The Yekaterinburg Online portal published a video of the storming of the Sredneuralsk women’s monastery, located on the outskirts of the city of Sredneuralsk in the Sverdlovsk region. It was in this monastery that Sergius (Nikolai Romanov), the former schema-monk and former schema-abbot of the Yekaterinburg diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, was hiding from the Church.
The video, made on the night of December 28-29, captured several dozen law enforcement officers and vehicles. The nuns living in the monastery are also seen being taken out into the street.
Earlier, the lawyer of the former schema-monk Sergius (Nikolai Romanov) Svetlana Gerasimova said that her client was taken to the regional Investigative Committee for interrogation.
