Russian Orthodox Church/Children in captivity and medieval torture
The Russian Orthodox Church, year after year, penetrates deeper and deeper into all spheres of public life, paying special attention to issues of morality and the education of young people.
However, in the ROC itself, really terrible things regularly happen: in its shelters, children without documents live in the position of slaves, they are taught according to medieval laws, tortured and starved to death. Former employees of law enforcement agencies are responsible for the security of church institutions, ready to do anything to hide their secrets, and new monasteries and parishes become sources of multi-billion dollar income.
Lenta.ru found evidence of child abuse in church orphanages, found out how the ROC earns huge money and who guards this business, and also found out why the higher clergy are so afraid of any changes in society.
