This neighborhood is a no-brainer at all. How can you put a church and a strip club two steps away? The diocese is doing the right thing by demanding it be removed.

I completely agree, Nikolai. Here in Yaroslavl, too, a couple of years ago, the same bar was opened in a neighboring house with a church - people simply stopped going there in the evenings. It’s good that the diocese said at least a word, maybe now they’ll pay attention. Have you been to that area in Simbirsk?
