USCIRF Commissioner Richard D. Land provided the following remarks to the Russian Academy of Public Service in Moscow, Russia on March 18, 2002.

There has been an enormous growth in religious activity throughout Russia since 1989. Yet, the internationally recognized right to freedom of religion is not fully respected or secured.
