Moscow’s plan to build 500 Orthodox churches sparks rare revolt

In a Moscow suburb, locals have been battling against city officials and the Russian Orthodox Church to stop construction of a new church in a city park. This construction project is part of a plan to build at least 500 new churches in Moscow — a city of roughly 12 million people. And over the past 15 years, thousands of new churches have gone up across the country. Levi Bridges reports that these construction projects represent a tightening relationship in Russia between the church and state.
