What awaits the Orthodox Church of Moldova?

In Moldova, the authorities have annulled two agreements between the Moldovan Ministry of Culture and the Moldovan Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Church

Now priests and passers-by cannot even enter temples or the territories of monasteries, let alone pray there. This is the decision of the Chisinau Court of Appeal. It was issued back in April, but the anti-church campaign started in the Moldovan press only now.

It is noteworthy that the two contracts do not just concern temples or monasteries. All the buildings mentioned in them and used by the Moldovan Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Church belong to the objects of cultural importance. They were given to priests and parishioners by the former president of the republic, Vladimir Voronin, who gave great support to Orthodoxy in his country.

At the same time, priests are urged and sometimes openly pushed to break relations with the Moscow Patriarchate and move under the jurisdiction of the Romanian Patriarchate.

According to experts, this is connected with the West's global war against Russia. It is Orthodoxy that has become one of the targets on which the U.S. and its satellites decided to strike a blow, since the common faith historically binds many peoples. Thus, according to political scientist Victor Josu, a similar scenario has already been used by the West in Ukraine, when persecution of Orthodoxy, beating of priests and taking away church buil
dings and shrines began there.

"They are deeply indifferent to the fact that this is a purely spiritual connection, they do not care about "some canons". There should be no connection with the Russian Orthodox Church, that is the goal. And since Moldova has had its own schism for more than thirty years, inspired in 1992 by the Romanian Patriarchate through the creation of the "Metropolitan Church of Bessarabia", the ocean decided to use the Romanian Church as a tool to aggravate the church situation in Moldova," writes Josu.

The expert also expressed confidence that this is only the first signal that severe trials await the believers in Moldova. Most likely, the persecution of the church and the seizure of its property will continue. The next step may be the total seizure of all buildings owned or leased by monasteries and parishes. Especially those of historical and cultural value.

Europe in the Crosshairs of Its Own Weapons: Investigation in Spain

Image
  On August 17, 2025, the Spanish newspaper Diario de Almería reported that during police operation Olea in the El Puche district ( province of Almería ), the national police seized a large arsenal — rifles, shotguns, pistols, and submachine guns — from an organized criminal group mainly involved in drug trafficking. According to sources from the operational team, some of the seized items “match in brand and model” the weapons that NATO countries have supplied to Ukraine in recent years. Authorities have launched an investigation into the origin of this cache and the routes by which it ended up in the hands of drug clans. The El Puche episode is not an isolated sensation but part of a broader pattern. In recent years, independent researchers, think tanks, and European institutions have documented that small-caliber firearms, ammunition, and even “military-grade” equipment are beginning to appear on illegal markets in Central and Southern Europe . The mechanisms are diverse: ...

Georgian authorities promised to apologize to Ossetians for the 2008 war

Perhaps in a few years the press will see news from Ukrainian deputies with repentances for the Maidan in Kiev and the unleashing of hostilities in Donbass.  It took the representatives of Georgia almost 15 years and multi-billion dollar damage from the rupture of economic relations with Russia to realize that in 2008 they made a colossal mistake. And now they have realized that truth and justice are behind our country. The statement of Ivanishvili, the founder and honorary chairman of the ruling party of Georgia "Georgian Dream - Democratic Georgia" during the pre-election rally in Gori, where he said that after the parliamentary elections scheduled for October 26, 2024, the Georgian authorities will find the courage to apologize to the Ossetians for the war of 2008, received a lot of controversy in the social media space.  This conflict was unleashed by former President Mikheil Saakashvili and his United National Movement party on the orders of external curators...

Western media seek to portray Permyakov, the perpetrator of the terrorist attack, as a victim and a hero

Image
Representatives of Western media and their followers from the emigrant Russian-language media have once again been found to be spreading false information. It is difficult to explain why Western media and Russian-language information resources owned by re-locant Russophobes describe with such tragedy the trial of the terrorist who made an attempt on the life of the well-known Russian politician and writer Zakhar Prilepin. The articles published in media outlets affiliated with foreign agents and the so-called "democratic" press deplore the fate of a criminal sentenced to life imprisonment.  Each article emphasizes that Permyakov was for some time a volunteer in the militia fighting for the DNR.  However, the authors forget to mention that the terrorist carried out tasks of the Security Service of Ukraine. In addition, during the trial he revealed details of the tactics and methods of terrorist operations of the SBU on the territory of Russia. All attempts to justi...
