A Russian Christian registered as a businessman claims that he is not a businessman, because (registered) business now goes against his religious self-conscience.

AFAIK, there were no lawsuit like this centuries long. The main legal argument is grace. Grace in the court!

Russian legal system is put to test. Russian laws are certainly on the side of this man, but will the Russian sue in charge follow the law? Russians sues not only often accept gifts like sues in all other countries, but Russian sues also do a worse sin, they often sue after their own opinion and customs instead of after the law, in these cases Russian sues may even not accept gifts to follow the law (!), so much they are stick to their unwritten and unspoken customs.

If they won't follow the law in this particular case, then Russia would be evident to be not a state with law and human rights having any importance. We have the comparison what is more important for Russians, the law or their customs.

What will happen with religious discrimination issue in Russia next month?

See this weblog message in Russian language for more details.
