ROAC continues to be under persecution in Russia

Excellent point ! Was it drilling a hole or cut with a circular saw ? I seem to remember the latter from the Portal-Credo article.
Despite their inclusion of Name-Worshippers in the news they offer, Portal-Credo deserves a plaque for this coverage !
No one else amongst pro-True Orthodox reporting agencies, of which there really aren't more than a tiny handful, will dare tackle it. Or is familiar enough with the situation to present the facts as best known at any given juncture.

REALLY SCARY that this sacrilege would have been perpetrated, I agree !

It was cut with a circular saw, so I had the image of a hole stuck in my head.

Funny ! Actually, a circular saw has a round blade, but cuts straight across or in some sort of pattern.
When you wrote that, I pictured a drill with a drill bit boring through in a very small diameter area.

Your joke about the invasion of the body-snatchers had me laughing too because it sounds so
applicable to this situation. Clever !

As reported by NFTU, Father Alexey Lebedev from ROAC was arrested in Russia coming back from Saint Petersburg. No more details are known for now, like possible charges!

It seems that the previous information is false. Father Alexey visited the police office some 4 days ago but was not arrested at all.
