Paris's St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was not damaged during the unrest in the city, its minister, Protodeacon John Darbot-Tikhonitsky, said. "Our cathedral was not affected. The riots took place mainly in the eastern part of Paris, and the cathedral is located in the west, let's say, more prosperous and wealthy," Lusti said. Alexander Novsky Cathedral is the cathedral church of the Archdiocese of the Western European Congregations of the Russian Tradition, which united with the Russian Orthodox Church in 2019.
