The Orthodox patriotic community managed to hold an unauthorized religious procession in Moscow

On November 4, on National Unity Day, representatives of the "Union of the Russian People", "People's Cathedral", the cultural and historical society "Borodino-2012", the Orthodox Brotherhood of St. New Hieromartyr Metropolitan Vladimir and parishioners of churches in several Orthodox jurisdictions (several dozen people) held a procession dedicated to the feast of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The procession was not authorized by the city authorities, but the police, unlike in 2008 , failed to block it.

The participants of the action divided into small groups and thus reached the church of St. Nicholas on Bersenevskaya embankment, where they performed a prayer service in a lay order before the list of the Kazan icon.
