On Dec. 19th and 20th the court case in Russia trying to declare "Bhagavad-gita as it is" as an extremist literature will resume.

Also they practically did not give the devotees time to prepare, just this week they got the news, and it is already practically weekend, and the court will start on Monday. They still do not have the copy of the so-called expert opinion submitted to the court....
