Church community leaders and human rights activists do not agree with the ruling and argue that the church did not carry out educational activities; rather, they only provided space for activities with children who were enrolled in "external studies."
Hard to argue one way or another as no nitty gritties are given. Maybe they were violating the new anti gay propaganda law, by promoting same sex marriage, who knows?
I believe our Churches are registered as non profit, non political institutions and can also be disenfranchised if they violate the rules. But as you know, favorites are excluded (the justice brothers, Jessy and Al).
That’s one way to spin it, I guess. It’s about homos.
I know, because I have friends evangelical missionary friends in Russia including one who just got back from Russia after years there. The church is under attack in Russia and it is the Putin govt and Russian Orthodox church Satan Coven that is doing the persecution.
