We are reporting from Kadashi settlement.
This is just downtown Moscow
opposite to the Kremlin.
There is a beautiful church of 17th century,
the masterpiece, the part of Russian national historical heritage situated here.
And now it's surrounded by ruins of old 17th, 18th century settlement.
And this church and its parish is under the siege
of the nouveau riche Russian developers.
They want to ruin everything here
and create and elite housing blocks
that will close the church, the landscape. And they will undermine the ceiling of the church.
And Moscow public are very anxious about the future of this ancient Moscow area
And the would like to stop these works.
And amazingly, Russian patriarch, Russian Orthodox Church does nothing to stop the ruining of this area.
