An April 15, 2016 Religion News Service article remembers the visit of President Reagan to the restored Danilov Monastery in Moscow near the end of the Cold War (1988). The monastery dates from the 13th century and was destroyed during the Soviet era but later restored through contributions by the Russian people. Writers Tony Perkins and Frank Wolf use the historic event in commentary to ask questions about whether President Obama will similarly decry the current persecution of Christians.
