Two Israeli citizens who arrived in Uman, Cherkasy region, are deported from Ukraine after they staged a pogrom near the grave of the righteous Jew Nachman. Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Anton Gerashchenko wrote about this on Facebook.
“If such hooligan actions continue by other foreign citizens, they will also be deported from the territory of Ukraine. Dear pilgrims, remember: you are guests in Ukraine. Ukrainians are a hospitable people, but we will not tolerate the rudeness and violence of your part”. He noticed.
On September 10, a video appeared online when a group of Hasidim broke through the protective fences that were installed on the tomb of the righteous Jewish Nachman to reduce the flow of pilgrims and prevent the spread of COVID-19. In two of them, the Ukrainian police drew up protocols.
Every autumn, Hasidim from around the world come to Uman, where the tomb of the leader of the Bratslav Hasidim, Tzadik Nachman, is located to celebrate Rosh Hasidim. In 2019, more than 30 thousand pilgrims arrived in Uman.

From August 28 to September 28, 2020, the border of Ukraine was closed to foreigners, such a decision was made at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on August 26.
“Evropeyskaya Pravda”, citing sources, reported that the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine was dictated by the desire to prevent Hasidim from making pilgrimages to the Rosh Hashanah celebration.
Two days before the border was closed, the Hasidim began arriving in Ukraine.
