VIDEO: Tajik Extinguishes Candles at Moscow Church and Pushes Visitor

A few days ago, 20-year-old Askar Butaev went to Moscow and began to "establish order." Today, it has been reported that the migrant entered a Russian church and extinguished all the candles.

The shocking incident occurred on June 18 in the capital of Russia. According to Russian media reports, a man, holding a prayer rug, entered one of the temples and extinguished all the candles. He then got into an argument with one of the visitors and rudely pushed him.

Eyewitnesses recounted that they did not understand what was happening and were simply frightened to approach the guest from the neighboring country.

The riotous individual was quickly arrested near the temple. It was revealed that he is from sunny Tajikistan and lives in a nearby dormitory.

The suspect has been transferred to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, where a criminal case has been initiated under Article 148 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (violation of the right to freedom of conscience and religion). According to investigators, the migrant decided to extinguish the candles to show his disdain for the feelings of Orthodox believers.

Today, the Zuyzinskii District Court in Moscow will consider his detention request.
