People’s deputy from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc (BPP) and former (in Soviet times) first secretary of the Central Committee of Komsomol of Ukraine Anatoliy Matvienko entered a church in the declaration-2015. The declaration is available on the website of the registry for civil servants declarations, informs Strana.UA

The list of real estate declared by the MP includes the Dormition of the Holy Virgin Church in the village of Byrlovka, Vinnitsa region.

Previously, the church has caused a huge scandal. Matvienko promised to hand over the temple, whose construction he has invested, to the UOC religious community, but later the deputy changed his mind. The faithful claimed for the church.
