Somewhat off topic but could any Greeks explain what the deal is with Esfigmenou Monastery at Athos?

My limited understanding of the situation is as such: the monks at Esfigmenou had some kind of schism with the other monasteries over the calendar (but they aren't Russian style Old Believers), Athos tried to replace the rebel monks and they responded by occupying the monastery and refusing to leave. One attempt at eviction by the police was prevented by use of Molotov Cocktails (!!!)

Apparently there's some sort of political movement behind the rebels but I have no idea what their deal is or how relevant they are because the topic has barely any coverage in English.
