Moscow, R.S.F.S.R., U.S.S.R.
The sun is just peaking over the horizon that is the mountains of Russia. Birds are gently chirping on the Kremlin grounds, yet this is soon interrupted. Moscow militsiya forces arrived at the St. Basil's Cathedral within the Kremlin just as the first rays of light peaking across the dry line. Each task-force soldier was adorned with dark looking attire and standard military issue combat armour. They had come to seize the cathedral and all properties herein in compliance with the Theological Ruination Act.

Stepping out of one of the large cars in the massive convoy was man wearing a suit, a thick coat, and a weall positioned military cap adorning the Committee for State Security (KGB) logo. He quickly stepped up the steps to the door of the massive Russian Orthodox cathedral and knocked harshly, causing the very iron that held the door to shake. "This is Special Agent Polarin from the Committee for State Security," he announced roughly, his deep Slavic accent affirmed. "In compliance with the Theological Ruination Act, Section 2, Sub-sects 'A' through 'G' you must hand over all properties within this cathedral or relating to these cathedral."

The agent recieved no answer... He was becoming impatient. Young Polarin already dispised religion and saw theology as the 'study of the divine lie.' "In compliance with the Theological Ruination Act, Section 3 'A' through 'Ec' I will inact my executive powers to forcefully seize this religious property." He still recieved no answer.

Several tense moments passed before Polarin gave the order and stepped out of the way. Militsiya units carrying standard AK-109G's aimed their assault rifles at the iron castings of the door. Firing each quickly cut through the massive door, while a duo of officers ran up and rammed a massive, steel bar into the door knocking it over. The units stormed in. Cries echoed outward as they fought through a small vanguard of fundamentalists. They fought hard against their Soviet 'oppressors' but were quickly subdued and carried from the cathedral in plastic cuffs.

Two officers wrapped yellow tape stating, "Do not enter under subjection to federative penalties," in Cryllic across the door while tossing the illegal theological adherents into the rear of an arrest van while one of them read off the new legislature they had broken.

The Theological Ruination Act of 2005: A Step Toward Material Consciousness
Released Radio Transcripts from Local Moscow Radio

"Hello comrades and international friends. Today, the first of a suspected chain of raids and seizures of churches, mosques, and other religious buildings has occured across the Soviet Union. Support for the newly passed Theological Ruination Act has grown gradually since it was originally proposed under Kruschev, but the bourgeois breaucrats within the old Party and Supreme Soviet refused to allow their old ways die."

"As of yet, no deaths have been reported due to deadly force or the seizing of churches and religiouslly affiliated organizations. However, over two hundred people have been imprisoned and five hundred have been questioned in relation to now illegal, public religious activity. Comrade Troskin announced earlier today that 'these reactionaries are being questioned and charged with crimes against the working class. We will find all persons responsible for these counter-revolutionary activities."

"International critics of this new legislature state that it is a violation of the freedom of religion, but due to massive support from the Soviet people - not to mention national sovreignty - have no legal ability to do anything about it. Comrade Troskin has stated that he will be meeting with a foreign religious leader known as... [short pause, ruffling of papers] the Reverend Jessie Jackson, a former American civil rights leader. Most suspect that this will have no change in the Premier's or the Political Bureau's support of the act."

"It's what people want!" is what supporters say, while the critics state that it is simply Communist Party hegemony simply ruling the common people. The critic that stated this was mauled in the streets of Leningrad by a small mob and is reportedly in critical condition at Lena Metropolitan Hospital."

"Please stay tuned for the 6PM discussion on the TRA to hear the debate between Comrade Troskin and... [short pause]... Mr. Jackson."

Statement from the Premier
Federative Central Government
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

Patriarch Hannon, as I am sure you are well aware, the Soviet Union does not condone your monarchy or your overtly fuedalistic policies. Reforms have taken hold within this wonderful union of soviet states. These reforms have began to spread through every facet of the massive workers' union to allow totaltarian control by the proletariat. I am truely sorry that you do not agree with our advancement beyond the constant self-denial that is religion into the materialist state in which the majority of Soviet citizens reside. If you continue to lie to yourself, that is your choice Hannon, but the Soviet people and I will not have anything to do with it.

Sincerely,
Vladimir Ivanovich Troskin, Ph.D.
Premier of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
