Anti-Hare Krishna Protest in Moscow


(June 5, 2008)

A group of protesters gathered in northern Moscow to rally against the proposed construction of a Hare Krishna temple, according to a June 4, 2008 report by the Interfax news agency. Holding signs reading "Sects destroy families!" and "Let us defend Orthodoxy!" The protesters gathered signatures on a letter to the mayor of Moscow arguing against the city's decision to grant the Hare Krishnas a building permit after years of controversy. The letter claims that Hare Krishnas "strike at the underdeveloped psychology of children."
