"Russian riot police stormed into a monastery Tuesday to detain a rebel monk who has castigated the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church leadership and denied the existence of the coronavirus...."
"Authorities charged [Father Sergiy] with inciting suicidal actions through sermons in which he urged believers to 'die for Russia.'... When the virus arrived in Russia early this year, the 65-year-old monk denied its existence and denounced government efforts to stem the pandemic as 'Satan’s electronic camp.' He has described the vaccines being developed against COVID-19 as part of a global plot to control the masses via chips.... The monk chastised Russian President Vladimir Putin as a 'traitor to the Motherland' who was serving a Satanic 'world government.'... In his fiery sermons, he... glorified Russia’s last czar, Nicholas II."

Sounds like the priest had covid.
He has described the vaccines being developed against COVID-19 as part of a global plot to control the masses via chips
Touting "immunity papers" isn't far off the mark. Blind pig, meet truffle.
Works for me.
Rasputin strikes again.
He was not preaching via social media, so he could not be shadow-banned.
What law was he breaking?
Come for the Althouse post, stay for the Mike Sylwester comments.
What law was he breaking?
Evidently "inciting suicidal actions", which in Russia can get you 5 years in prison.
Gell-Mann Amnesia is a helluva thing.
Are we sure the AP didn't mistake someone's fanfic for a real life story?
Meanwhile in the Free World...
It will be your patriotic duty to wear a mask for the first 100 days of the rule of House of Biden.
Thanks, Nonapod, for your explanation.
Inciting someone to suicide by threats, cruel treatment, or systematic humiliation is punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
If Father Sergiy gets a good lawyer, he will be acquitted on those charges.
In fact, Father Sergiy was not inciting someone to suicide.
If you're going to glorify a czar, don't glorify Nicholas II. Peter the Great or Catherine the Great, maybe.
Also, Father Sergiy was not using threats, cruel treatment or systematic humiliation.
This is as preposterous as the prosecution of Michael Flynn was here in the USA.
Soviet Democratic tyrants of America look on with admiration at Russian State Powers.
Sounds like he'd be fun at parties.
The Lubyanka's basement is a bit nippy this time of year. Heaven help the good monk.
Big Lou's got him on meds.
"Threats, cruel treatment, and humiliation"?
Those are the first three sacraments of Russian Othodoxy.
Narr
And staples of Russian popular culture
What, being right half-the-time doesn't count anymore?
Five years in prison or five years in Russia.
Narr
There's a difference?
"President-Elect" Biden should ask Congress to pass a federal law against inciting people to commit suicide.
Then, anyone anywhere who refuses to wear a face-mask can be prosecuted for violating that federal law.
Haven't enough people "died for Russia" already?
I’m confused. If Trump and Putin are besties, how come they’re not on the same side of the “Covid fraud” issue?
The most advanced countries are able to handle dissent by outlawing picking quarrels and provoking trouble.
Fr. Sergiy is my new favorite priest. Sure, lots of priests and other members of the clergy talk a good game, but this one looks like he has brass knuckles in his back pocket.
'Satan’s electronic camp.'
I remember seeing the punk band Satan’s Electronic Camp on a double header with Fecal Urgency at the 930 Club in DC in the early 80's.
YH@12:15PM: LOL! ;-D
"Russian riot police stormed into a monastery Tuesday to detain a rebel monk." Unless the monk's name is Kwai Chang Caine, I don't see why you need riot police.
Mike Sylwester said...What law was he breaking?
The Law of Political Correctness.
Russia had people in concerts and clubs since July 4th. I don't see bodies stacked up like cord wood.
I'm guessing Father Sergiy isn't going to make it to 66.
"Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?" - Questions Vladimir Putin never has to ask.
Sounds like China. A medical student of mine came to LA from China for medical school. Her mother was a professor at Beijing U. Her father had trained as a physicist but was working as an auto mechanic because he is Christian.
Fr. Sergiy must be as dangerous as Roger Stone!
Narr
But it's a low bar
