A Russian politician whose legislative efforts have led to recently passed antigay legislation had his church fire-bombed by unknown assailants.

According to the Russia & India Report, two masked attackers threw Molotov cocktails at The Church of Holy Peter the Metropolitan Bishop of Moscow on Sunday evening. The Muscovite church is where Vitaly Milonov, St Petersburg municipal deputy, volunteers as an altar server.

On Twitter, Milonov blamed "scum" for the attack, which inflicted minor damage on the church, and vowed to "find them and destroy them."

Traditional Russia did not have a separation between Church & State. You are applying a principle of American Federalism, to those to whom it does not apply.

Every nation sets up its own rules. That is the essential attribute of sovereignty & the Law of Nations. (In Russia the suppression of the Church under Communism has now ended.)

After the privations imposed upon people of Faith, during the long Communist nightmare in Russia, I am not really sure that 2 years is excessive for trying to disrupt a religious service. But in any event, it is a Russian matter. As I would not want Russians telling us how to handle criminal justice in America, I do not want to engage in telling Russians how to handle criminal justice in Russia.
