Vandalism of an Orthodox Church in Russia November 22, 2015. Unknown perpetrators entered the
Orthodox church of the Great Martyr George near the village of Shoane
Khetagurova Russia opened the wooden floors of the temple and made
excavation, as the website blagoug reports.

In the spring of 2011, there was an arson in the
church. The fire was extinguished by the personal efforts of the head of
Karachay-Cherkessia Rashid Temrezov.

The new attack make stronger the need for a solution concerning
the conservation of ancient temples > Gorge and the restoration of their historic status as a place of prayer. The local
diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church deposed the petition about it but still
they did not receive a response. The diocese hopes that a mutually acceptable solution
can be found in order to prevent unlawful acts that aimed at the destruction of
Christian holy sites.
