| Moscow police 'discover brothel on monastery premises' |
| 2012-10-30 |
| Two women were arrested on suspicion of prostitution after seven rooms were found in a building close to Sretensky Monastery where sexual services were offered from 1,750 roubles (£35) per hour. Father Tikhon, the abbot of the monastery, is said to be a religious counsellor to Mr Putin, who is a confirmed Russian Orthodox believer. There were conflicting reports over the ownership of the brothel, found in one of a chain of mini-hotels called Podushkin. Life News, a popular muckraking website with close ties to the police and security services, said the building where the brothel was located on Rozhdestvensky Boulevard had been rented out by the monastery. However, an attendant at the monastery was quoted as saying: "Some time ago we rented premises for our seminary. The bordello was only found then, when we started to check which rooms had become temporarily ours, and which hadn't. This establishment had been there for a long time; it belongs to someone and has absolutely no connection to us." |

| #7 Fine ... but tell the French agent in 518 that I left her lace on the balcony - so it could cool off. |

| #1 Life News, a popular muckraking website... Oh, like the MSM in the U.S. In trying to judge the moral equivalence between a brothel in a monastery and our state-sponsored media in the U.S., I'll take the brothel as being morally superior. |
