The Party kept this one intact to make it look like there was religious freedom there. I am quite sure they took Billy Graham there on his trip. I don't know if you got a chance to see the wonderful film "Pokoyanie" (Repentance), which was made in the Republic of Georgia, but that is a real eye opener and gives a sense of what it must have been like to be a Christian in the USSR. This one was available at the Blockbuster here, at least at one time.<br>Thanks for writing and<br>God Bless! John,

I've been to Russia four times in the past five years and saw the damage that 70 years of Communism did to Russian culture. I attended Saturday vespers at Sretenskiy Monastery in its sole surviving church. The Communists had destroyed three of its churches and I hate to think what they probably did to the monks.
