THE RELIGIOUS REVO-
LUTON IN RUSSIA

Comparing Krasnitsky and the
Living Church" movement in Russia
with Martin Luther and the Protestant
Reformation, the Reverend John
Haynes Holmes, pastor of the Com
munity Church in New York, describes
In The Nation for May the religious
conditions he found on his recent visit
to Russia, and denies that the Soviets
are prosecuting any religion or church
The upheaval now going on is simp-
ly the undermining of the so-called
Orthodox church, of the Cars, which
he calls "the greatest compaund of
ignOranical superstition, and corrup-
ton that the world has ever known.
The changes are taking place unofic-
tally, with no interference, but rather
Indifference on the part of the Gov
eminent. In separating church from
state, however, the Government has
punished intrigue by church officials
as in the case of Vicar General Butch
kavitch.
