On May 11, 2011 it became known that the head Information center on sectarianism at the Cathedral of St. Alexandra Nevsky in Novosibirsk, Oleg Zaev published an article "For whom calls sectarian bell". In it, he accused the city leadership of participating in the "sectarian action of the followers of N.K. Roerich entitled "Day Earth".
This event took place on April 22, when the Orthodox It was Holy Week. "Earth Day" was held under the patronage of city administration for the third time.
According to O. Zaev, the event allows the supporters of the Roerichs "strengthen their influence on those in power, and at the same time replenish their ranks like-minded people", as well as to popularize ideas that "definitely are anti-Christian."
The author of the article claims that the participants of the action were unaware of its religious character and against their will became followers of the Roerichs and Blavatsky. Sources
