Yekaterinburg, September 21 (Noviy Region, Alexandra Stolitsyna) -- A protest action against the activities of the Scientologists will be held 22 September in several cities in Russia. The activities of this religious organization has already received a negative assessment several times from the part of the RF State Duma, the RF Health Ministry and the Russian Orthodox Church. Now the fight with the Scientologists also includes the members of the All-Russian youth movement, "Fellow Travelers." The reason for carrying out the action was the numerous attempts by organizational cells of Scientologists to get into Russian schools.

22 September 2003, Fellow Travelers, along with members of the Russian Orthodox Church, begin a six-day All-Russia protest operation against the activities of the Scientology cult in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Volgograd, Nizhny Novgorod, Kaluga and Yekaterinburg. Mass rallies will be conducted in all the above listed cities -- from 22 - 27 September organizational activists will picket sites on which Scientology centers are located, distributing informational material and answering questions for those who would like to join the cult.

In Yekaterinburg the protest action will be held at 9a Papanin. The action will officially begin September 22 at 3 and last til 7 p.m.

Scientology shakes its fist at Russian psychiatrists

Newsru.com September 19, 2003

The director of the V.P. Serbsky Center for Social and Forensic Psychiatry, Tatyana Dmitriev, expressed annoyance with the activities of Scientologists on Russian territory, reported Interfax. Appearing today in Moscow at a conference on problems of prison psychiatry, she mentioned that officially the activities of the Scientologists were prohibited in the RF. Meanwhile, in her words, the Scientologists continue to operate under the mask of rights advocate organizations. "And that is how the big money works that is invested in Scientology," said the Center chief.

She noted that one of concepts of the Scientologists has a direct connection to psychiatry. "They believe," explained T.

Dmitriev, "that psychiatry in general does not need to concern treatment of the sick - that, as the saying goes, God gave you whatever you need." It was in this respect, T. Dmitriev said, that the Scientology protest actions were carried on outside the V.P. Serbsky Center (the next such measure was supposed to take place today). One of their principle slogans, said T.

Dmitriev, was "Psychiatrists: hands away from people!"

Participants of such actions also appeal to the government to stop financing the country's psychiatry.
