Arson of a temple in St. Petersburg

In August 2009, in St. Petersburg, an arson was committed in the Church of the Kazan Mother of God on Stachek Avenue.

As it turned out later, one of the members of the ultra-right group is suspected of setting fire to the icon case of the temple, in whose actions, accordingly, ideological motives are suspected.

The incident became known from a report about the detention of members of the group in June 2010.
