Court reported to have ruled in parishioners favorKALININGRAD COURT DECIDES ISSUE REGARDING CHURCH IN KADASHI INSTEAD OF ARBITRATION COURT (Mir religii, 6 August 2004) - The I.E. Grabar All-Russian Artistic Scientific Restoration Center has been forbidden to occupy the premises of the church of the Resurrection in Kadashi. As Interfax reports, this decision was made yesterday by the Baltic District Court of Kaliningrad, to which the parishioners of the church had appealed recently. "Thus, as from now the Resurrection church officially has been turned over for use to the Orthodox parish," attorney for the parishioners, Mikhail Voronin, told the agency today. The fact that the suit was filed not in Moscow but in another city he explained as a matter of timing. "We were not convinced that this case would be reviewed in the capital sufficiently quickly," the attorney explained. All these days, according the attorney Voronin, a police patrol has been guarding the church and today only one vehicle remains there. The agency's informant also reported that at the present moment a commission has already been created for transferring the church and surrounding grounds to the ownership of the parish.
As
already reported, parishioners of the church
distributed on Friday a statement expressing
readiness for dialogue with the Grabar Center and
readiness to help it relocate to new premises "in
a reasonable period." (tr. by PDS, posted 6 August
