Window on Eurasia: Muslims Too Will Press for Return of Religious Property Seized by Soviets

Paul Goble

Staunton, December 5 – The new law on the restitution of religious property was largely written on the basis of demands by the Moscow Patriarchate and designed to benefit the Russian Orthodox Church in the first instance, but under its term Russia’s Muslims too are going to press for the return of religious property seized from them by the Soviet authorities.
