Tsymbaliuk, a former Orthodox priest, is the unlikely starting point for the extraordinary tale of how the Ukrainian security service says it faked a murder in order to stop a murder.

In the midst of Ukraine's endless political crisis, its embattled president went on sick leave Thursday, setting off a wave of conspiracy theories since protesters have been demanding his ouster for months.
