The head of the Russian #Orthodox Church, Patriarch #Kirill, has imposed a three-year suspension on the priest who held a memorial service at Alexey #Navalny’s grave in late March.
Priest Dmitry #Safronov, a cleric of the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin on Lyschikova Hill in #Moscow, is now forbidden from giving blessings, wearing the frock, and bearing the church’s priestly cross until 2027.
