Lev Shlosberg’s sentence and where God is in times of repression: a conversation on I Gryanul Grem
In August 2026, Archbishop Grigory Mikhnov-Vaitenko joins the I Gryanul Grem channel. The conversation opens with how Lev Shlosberg and his family are coping with the verdict and what his words “God will forgive” mean. Vladyka Grigory reflects on where God is in times of repression and war, why the Russian Orthodox Church justifies the war and depends on the authorities, and what awaits the judges who hand down unjust sentences and the people who go to war for money.
