It's strange that it made it to Kommersant. I wonder what the specific case is because the headline doesn't say much.

Софья Зайцева

I wonder what exactly this matter is, since even Kommersant wrote about it. The title is really completely empty, nothing is clear. Maybe someone knows the details?

Lenka Svobodová

Yes, the title is really just a bait. The article describes a petition by believers from the Yaroslavl eparchy, who ask the police to investigate suspicious property management in an old monastery. Quite a specific thing, but it seems like a big deal in Kommersant.

Hana Dvořáková

Thanks for the clarification, Lenko, it makes sense - the title sounds like a church-wide scandal, but it's actually a petition from one eparchy in Yaroslavl. I wonder if the suspicious dealings with the property of the monastery have already been publicly named by any of the local believers, or if everything remains at the "check it out" level.
