In 2014, Russian supporting rebels took over the Donbas region and created the so-called People’s Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. Since then, thousands of civilians have died, nearly 2 million people have fled and those who remain have suffered the effects of ongoing conflict, extreme poverty and terrible government. On top of all these hardships, restrictions on freedom of religion or belief make life even bleaker for all who follow a faith other than Orthodox believers linked to the Moscow Patriarchate.
