Moscow, November 13, 2015

    

Another act of vandalism was committed against the church of the Icon of the Mother of God, "The Sovreign" in Simferopol, Crimea.

Unidentified criminals on the night of November 10 wrote 'Gestapo,' 'Heil Hitler,' SS lightning bolts and swastikas onthe back side of the church. The parishioners partially painted over the inscriptions, the press service of the local diocese reports.

The previous act of vandalism was committed on Halloween night, October 31, when the facade of the church was covered with titles of horror films and Satanic rituals.

The church was built three years ago. The community does not have enough money to set up a fence around it.
