In Russia, a drunken champion of the Olympics broke into the temple and took them as presented icon.
The legendary Russian biathlete Alexander Tikhonov stepped in a huge scandal. Four-time Olympic champion made a drunken Armageddon in one of the temples in the Chelyabinsk region.
An extraordinary incident occurred in the village uyskoe. 70-year-old girl in a drunken state broke into the Church and took the icon of the Holy Prince Alexander Nevsky, which he himself gave in 2012. In addition, he attacked the little girl who tried to photograph him.
“This happened with many of the parishioners. Coming in drunk, he began his speech with insults prior. When Tikhonov came out with the icon, he attacked a minor girl who took his picture. He hurt her, tearing the camera from her neck and pushing her with all his force, and, in the end, took a swing at her with his fist, thereby causing the fear. But thanks to the parishioners of the Church, did not hit her, as they stopped him,” – said on the official page of the Church “Vkontakte”.
As it turned out, the girl is the daughter of the rector of the Church Archpriest Paul. He confirmed that Tikhonov had intended to hit his child.
“He came out of the temple, went, but saw my daughter, who photographed it. He attacked her, began to grab her camera and took a swing with his fist at her. If not for the parishioners, he would probably have knocked”, – quotes the rector of the Church of NTV.
It is noted that the members of the Church are outraged and eager to meet Tikhonov to get a explanation. People fear that the Olympic champion may sell the face of the Saint Prince Alexander Nevsky, and then simply skip the money. They stated that they will not allow Tikhonov to sell the icon and are ready to buy it from men, then to return her to the temple. The price of the image of the Holy Prince Alexander Nevsky can reach several million rubles.
The Tikhonov said that he had acted within the law: “I go to the temple, which have a direct relationship. I have invested a lot in this temple, my submission he built. I have the right to take your personal thing”.
