Protesting against a billionaire church

Last year two billionaires in Yekaterinburg, Russia's fourth largest city, set about funding a brand new church in the city's park.

But thousands of citizens protested against this, angry at the loss of public land. Some, like Viktor, also questioned the motives behind building a new church as opposed to restoring one of the many that were destroyed during the Soviet Union.
