Prosecutors have asked a Moscow court to sentence three members of an ultraconservative group to prison for an arson attack apparently aimed to prevent the screening of a movie depicting an affair between a teenaged ballerina and the future Russian Tsar Nicholas II.
At a hearing on March 29, state prosecutors urged the Khamovniki district court to convict Christian State-Holy Rus activists Yury Kalinin, Aleksandr Bayanov, and Denis Mantalutsa of arson and sentence each of them to 2 1/2 years in prison.
