С просьбой о регистрации в министерство обратился глава объединения Михаил Иосилевич. В ответ он получил официальное уведомление о том, что Церковь летающего макаронного монстра внесена в ведомственный реестр.

The whole point of the "Flying Spaghetti Monster Church" is to be a parody of religion, and try to get some "religious" style recognition to agnostics and atheists. My youngest son has a friend, a neighbor, who is 22 years old and still has FSM symbols on her car. What's odd is that she also believes in astrology. Go figure!

I noticed that the same site reveals that there have been other extremist groups shut down by the Russian government. I'll translate one very surprising one in the next post . . .
