Russian troops and the case of a saintly hand fragment
Original: Opinion | The mysterious case of Russian troops and a saintly hand fragment
A Washington Post opinion column examines claims that Russian troops are connected to the disappearance or removal of a fragment of a saint's hand, reportedly a relic taken in connection with the war in Ukraine. The piece frames the incident as a strange symbol of the conflict, touching on religion, looting of cultural and sacred property, and what the relic's fate says about the conduct of Russian forces.
Why now: Religious relics allegedly removed during the war feed into ongoing debate about looting and the treatment of churches in occupied Ukrainian territory.
