GRAPEVINE, Page 19SCIENTOLOGY'S LARGESSE IN RUSSIA
By JANICE CASTRO/Reported by Wendy Cole
Everyone seems to have a plan to assist the citizens of
the former Soviet Union, and the CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY is no
exception. For the past month, journalism students at the
237-year-old Moscow State University have been studying in the
newly renovated L. Ron Hubbard Reading Room. Scientology
propaganda in dozens of languages lines the walls, and video
equipment is available. Pictures of Hubbard decorate the
corridors, along with a bronze bust of "The Founder." Students,
who have only the vaguest idea who Hubbard is, are impressed by
the lavish appointments. But Western scholars in Moscow are
outraged that the cult has gained such influence. With an
outpost in an established university, Scientologists plan to
launch a college of their own in Moscow this summer.
