Another Russian Orthodox Church has been vandalized, this time in Geneva.

“In the early hours of October 28, 2022, unidentified offenders committed an act of vandalism by splattering paint on the entrance to the Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos in Geneva, which is a parish of the Russian Orthodox Church,” reports the Russian embassy in Switzerland.

“We consider these criminal acts as yet another vivid example of Russophobia that has swept over Europe, which, unfortunately, is becoming more and more pronounced in Switzerland. We note that this is far from the first such act of vandalism in the Confederation in recent months,” the embassy writes, noting that it sent a letter of protest to the Swiss Foreign Ministry, calling for urgent measures to be taken to identify and punish the perpetrators.

The parish community of the Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos was founded in the 1940s. From October 19, 1971 to December 26, 1974, its rector was the future Patriarch Kirill, who was sent to Geneva as the Russian Church’s representative to the World Council of Churches.

A number of Russian churches throughout the world have been vandalized since the start of the war in Ukraine in late February. St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral in New York City was also doused with red paint late last month.

What an evil, despicable, and cowardly attack on an Orthodox Church. I want my Russian Orthodox Brothers in Switzerland to know that we all love them, and all of the Orthodox are with them. In my opinion, this is what happens when the no good liberal internationalists brainwash people with a never-ending stream of anti-Russian propaganda. They hate Russia because Russia is a Conservative Orthodox Nation, and they hate the Russian Orthodox Church. This is the truth my friends, whether you want to accept it or not. I have studied history for years, and I know all about the no good internationalists: it was the powerful, sinister, devious, and wealthy internationalists that brought communism to Holy Orthodox Russia and Eastern Europe. Communism was merely a tool that they used to try to destroy our Churches and Faith. They planned the coup in the Ukraine, and they planned this war in the Ukraine years ago, because they want to destroy Conservative Russia, and thereby weaken the Conservative Russian Orthodox Church. The wicked souls of the "Satanic Three", from the Ukraine from many decades ago, I.E. Leon Trotsky (born Leiba Bronstein), Lazar Kaganovich, and Genrikh Yagoda, all three of these monsters are smiling now while they are burning in the pits of hell, because they see that the persecution of the Orthodox Church is still continuing. Once the Internationalists destroy the Orthodox Faith and weaken the Orthodox People, then the false Messiah or Antichrist will arrive, and he will deceive many into believing him, because many people will be weak and stupid. Do research yourself, and educate yourself, and put the pieces of the puzzle together yourself. Don't be brainwashed by these masters of lies and propaganda....... Support businesses that are owned by Conservative Orthodox Christians. If there are not Conservative Orthodox Christians in your area, then support businesses of conservative Christians of other denominations. Why do you patronize businesses owned or controlled by no good liberals and internationalists? The one thing they understand is money, because money is their God, therefore why should you give your money to them? I speak the truth my friends, and I don't care if it's politically correct or not. Orthodox People must be cohesive, and we must help each other, and we must become educated, and we must accumulate wealth. Wake up, straighten up, and be a Strong Conservative Orthodox Christian! Glory be to our God! Just my humble opinion.

É preciso ter coragem para suportar as contrariedades. Deus está convosco. Deus está já a consolidar a Verdadeira Fé na Rússia. A Rússia será glorificada depois da 3ª guerra Mundial. O Reinado do Espírito Santo está já em progressão no mundo, especialmente na Rússia. E a Sede, desse Reino de Amor, será em Moscovo! Foi Deus Quem o disse. Nós rezamos por vós e pela Glorificação da Rússia. Amen.
