Suppression of the Lutheran Church in Russia

It is very properly regarded as a most arbitrary exercise of unjust power, and this seems especially true as the German Lutherans, whose descendants are now living in Russia, were guaranteed religious liberty when they settled in that empire, about one hundred and twenty years ago.
