"This is good news! – said the deputy head of the DECR. – It proves that it is not so necessary, as our opponents want. It is believed that they are waiting for the moment when it will be possible to push through the bill, because they fear that the controversial bill "could fail" – so many attempts and all in vain," said the cleric.

According to Danilevich, consideration of the bill may be moved to October 7. "We ask for prayers! To talk some sense into the deputies, to keep religious peace in the country! " – called Nikolai Danilevich.
