Real estate taken away from Estonian Orthodox Church

17 апреля 2024

The Estonian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate is being stripped of land and real estate in Tallinn following the Ukrainian scenario. The city administration gives the official reason as the fight against the "strengthening of Russia's influence" in the country. Lease agreements are planned to be terminated in the near future. In the capital of Estonia, as reported the national television, the canonical church has seven buildings on lease, which were transferred by the government of the country and the city authorities.

Earlier, as part of the same anti-Russian course, the head of the Estonian Interior Ministry announced the need to recognize the Russian Orthodox Church as a terrorist organization, forgetting that half of the population in Estonia professes Orthodoxy.
