Father Sergius (the one who cursed the government, demanded power and seized the monastery) staged a religious procession, an alternative to the one held by the Yekaterinburg diocese on the anniversary of the death of the royal family. However, Father Sergius only remembered Nicholas II three times. But he managed to turn to Putin with a question whether he was ready to give his life for the Russians.
The monastery's confessor Sergius, forbidden in ministry, gathered his followers in the Sredneuralsky monastery to hold a procession in honor of the anniversary of the death of the royal family. Several thousand people gathered for the procession, including a GRU colonel convicted of attempted coup d'etat, Vladimir Kvachkov, Olympic ice hockey champion Pavel Datsyuk, participant of the Ural dumplings show Dmitry Sokolov, reports URA. RU.
Participants in the procession walked around the back monastery, without leaving its territory. During the march, which began at about 3:00 am, police officers and, according to some sources, FSB officers were nearby. After reading the lives of the saints in the Holy Trinity Church, Father Sergius took the floor.
- Russia has risen. Russia is alive. And if Russia is alive, then the whole world is also alive. If the world government does not agree with us on something, I repeat once again - send you to the island of Spinalonga (the island of the lepers)! When they crucified me on the cross and took off my clothes, I agreed. But when they told me to leave you - my family and friends … I cannot imagine how I will be there alone, without you, in the Kingdom of Heaven. Let me die alone, but you will be in the Kingdom of Heaven. I want all of Russia to be in the Kingdom of Heaven. In addition, Sergius wondered why we live like beggars, although we have such a huge country, the 66. RU portal reports.
In conclusion, the rebellious schema-abbot turned to Putin:

- Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, I am addressing you personally. Will you give your life for everyone standing here? Stand by my side and tell me that you will give your life for anyone. Do you believe he will do that? If my life is beneficial to some of you, then I will not hesitate to part with it! I'll give it right here! do you belive me?
The crowd rejoiced and shouted in response to Sergius that they believed him. After this speech, Sergius invited everyone to a festive dinner.
Schemgumen Sergiy, who was defrocked by a church court after the seizure of the monastery, suggested that Vladimir Putin give him the powers of president. In case of refusal, Sergius promised to declare war on Putin and Patriarch Kirill.
