The head of the Russian partner organization "Light in the East" laments the anti-religious policy in Russia.
Korntal (kath.net) Evangelical Christians in Russia are complaining that their government is increasingly pursuing an anti-religious policy, as they were used to from the former Communist rulers. The church representative reported on the anniversary of the missionary "Light in the East" for idea. At the conference, the head of the Russian partner organization "Light in the East", Pyotr Lunitschkin, reported that the unexpected freedom of religion after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union was obviously coming to an end. Lunitschking spoke at the meeting of "godless people" at the head of the state, who have allowed an antiterror law to be directed against evangelical Christians, so that no worship services are to be celebrated in apartments or offices, but only in "religious buildings".
Books that are passed on must be individually stamped with the full name of the religious organization responsible for its dissemination. Otherwise, penalties for individuals of up to € 100 and for organizations of up to € 20,000 were threatened. "Such laws did not even exist when atheists were at the helm," said Lunichkin. Despite these strict laws, one could not speak of a systematic persecution of Christians. In the media, there are also opposites, so Protestants are compared to terrorists, as enemies of the people and spies of the USA. In some places evangelical congregations had been robbed and struck by unknowns. However, the police do not undertake any special efforts to identify the perpetrators.

I don't see a problem with this. Can they not raise funds to build an actual church building? The orthodox are schismatics to be sure, but in the end we know that religious liberty is not a Catholic concept. We can't worship God any way we choose.
I don't see a problem with it either, FYI.
I recall sometime back that the US government allocates a certain amount of money to foster "religious pluralism". They argued that bringing religious pluralism helps promote democracy abroad. It is an attempt to break down other countries' moral monopoly so that the countries can have something they disagree about so that there is debate, and hence, "freedom of open discussion". The nation states and the " international community" can not face a nonissue or nondiscussion of any topics if there is a fixed moral monopoly. In other words, it is a form of invasion abd Western control. Because it opens the door to self diubt, and ultimately, acceptance if antifamily and antilife globalist values.
I see no problem with keeping protestant sects out of a nation.
Yep I also find little fault w/ the laws.
