Russian Orthodox priests persecuted for opposing war. Archpriest Andréi Kordochkin, 46, was suspended from service in Madrid for his pacifist stance.

He officiated in Germany at a ceremony for the deceased opponent Alexei Navalny. According to the priest, it is time to study the example of the American Martin Luther King, who led the peaceful resistance movement against the Vietnam War and nuclear weapons. The contrast between this language and that of the Patriarch of Moscow is evident.
