MOSCOW In March, a strange story swept through Russian online media: Police and agents of the Federal Security Service (FSB) had raided the St. Petersburg apartment of the bishop of Cherepovets and Belozersk.
According to the sketchy reports based on anonymous law enforcement sources, the authorities discovered a laboratory for producing illegal drugs there. They claimed that a mysterious 22-year-old identified as Kain Montanelli was living in the flat and producing and selling narcotics.
The bishop, Flavian, was dismissed from his post by the patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church for health reasons and sent to an obscure monastery in Vologda, a sprawling region north of Moscow and east of St. Petersburg. Flavian s lawyers denied the accusations against him and said that he d resigned as bishop of his own accord.
