The Russian Parliament is trying to ban worship services not held in special religious buildings. For Russian Protestants, the consequence could be a latent form of religious persecution, Vitaly Vlasenko said last week from Moscow.

Navalny was baptised at a young age. But Christianity did not become meaningful for him until later in his life. What made this happen?

Since the invasion of Ukraine, many Orthodox churches all over Europe have found themselves in a precarious position. Many parishes officially fall under the Moscow Patriarchate and Patriarch Kirill who fervently supports the invasion. And it is hard to severe those ties. Yet, the Russian Orthodox Church in Estonia is going to.

This rubric started two years ago, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine was an important reason for that. The war is still there; what is next?

Volodymyr Zelensky must remember to defend all freedoms. One of them is religious liberty. Ukraine will never be really free without the Orthodox church – even when it belongs to the Moscow Patriarchate.
