Russia has been ranked among the world’s 50 countries in which Christians face the most prosecution for the first time in seven years.
Russia placed 41st out of 50 countries with the highest levels of persecutions faced by Christians, according to the group’s 2019 World Watch List published Wednesday.
“Though radical Islam is largely to blame for Russia’s poor standing in how Christians are treated within its borders, the Russian legislation is unfairly applied to non-Russian Orthodox Christians as new laws and restrictions are constantly being imposed,” it said.
The last time Russia landed on the list was in 2011, according to Open Doors.
Russian Christians face the most pressure in private life – with converts from Islam often facing discrimination from family members – and church life.
While churches of the Russian Orthodox denomination are sponsored by the state, Open Doors said unregistered evangelical churches “may face obstructions in the form of surveillance and interrogation.”
Open Doors said Christians face the most prosecution in North Korea, Afghanistan and Somalia, followed by Libya, Pakistan, Sudan and Eritrea.

Putin puffers will slither in here in 4...3...2...
Oregon trying to make the list
We belong on that list.
Putin puffers??
Some US cities and counties could be added to that list.
Read the “The Paradigm! This is what I’m reading - close to the end now with Trump being elected and I find it astonishing; he is described accurately to a T (whatever that means) as the person who sees what has gone before and his intentions to make it right. I highly recommend it. Covers exactly what happened in ancient Israel and parallels what the liberals have done to our country and what their plans are for OUR future - NONE! Their obsession with abortion is the one thing they worship and the only thing! With our own “Jezebel” at the helm. Lucky us. LUCKY - that she didn’t make it to the WH for sure!
I know some thought it odd I didn’t like “The Harbinger” but I truly couldn’t get it. There is no problem following this at all..
