The migrant who blew out the candles in the temple arrived in Russia four days ago

He could not explain his action

A strange sabotage was carried out in the Temple of the Holy Righteous Warrior Admiral Theodore Ushakov on Yuzhnobutovskaya Street by a migrant from Tajikistan. A 20-year-old man entered the church and blew out all the candles.

As MK learned, the incident occurred on June 18 in the afternoon, when there were not too many parishioners in the church. The scumbag came in from the back door, walked around the hall, blowing out the candles, and pushed one of the women. When he went outside, he headed towards the hostel he had checked into just a few days ago. The police detained him in hot pursuit — fortunately, CCTV cameras were installed in the church.

The guest worker, who arrived in Russia on June 15, refused to comment on his actions. However, silence did not help him much.

As Yulia Ivanova, senior assistant to the head of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Russian Federation Investigative Committee for Moscow, reported, a criminal case has been opened against a 20-year-old citizen. He is accused of committing a crime under paragraph “b” of Part 4 of Art. 148 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Violation of the right to freedom of conscience and religion”).
