An attack is being prepared against the Tithes Monastery, reports the press secretary of the vicar Bishop Gedeon (Charon), Father Anthony. According to the reliable sources of the brethren, the target is Bishop Gedeon.

According to the representative of the Tithes Monastery, the enforcers will turn a blind eye to this.
