The ROC warned about fraudsters extorting money for the restoration of temples after recent mass riots in Almaty. Reports about it TASS.

According to the agency, fraudsters send messages with a fake signature of the head of the external church connections of the Moscow Patriarchate Metropolitan Volokolamsky Hilarion. The letters contain calls to list the funds for the restoration of temples in Kazakhstan, as well as false data on the destruction in the Iver-Seraphim Women’s Monastery.

previously became known that 160 people were killed in Almaty in Almaty, 11 people were silov, and 149 – civilians.

Protests in Kazakhstan began on January 2, 2022 due to the increase in gas prices for cars from 60 to 120 tenge (from 10 to 20 rubles) per liter. Soon after that, the protesters demanded the resignation of the government, holding new elections and consideration of the issue of the lustration of people from the “clan” of the former president of the country of Nursultan Nazarbayev. The challenges of protesters with security forces were held in Alma-Ata.
