Russian Church Persecution Documented
Soviet government suppresses Orthodox faith by revoking clergy registrations and meddling in priest assignments. Between 1961 and 1964 Khru shchev led a drive that closed at least 10 000 churches and many monasteries, destroying art. Citizens must register for rites and face scrutiny, while some priests lose blessings and rites in homes and cemeteries. Children are barred from church life and communion. Bees thrive on rhododendron nectar though some honey is poisoned.
