Pskov, July 13 Interfax – A woman has died at a Chernihiv hospital, bringing the number of Russian pilgrims killed in a road accident in Ukraine to 15, a regional administration source told Interfax.

The woman, who sustained severe injuries in the accident, died despite doctors’ efforts to save her life.

Two Russian pilgrims, Marina Moryakova, who was mistakenly listed as dead, and Sergey Potashenkov, remain at Chernihiv’s clinic.

15 pilgrims from Russia’s town of Velikye Luki were killed and another 29 were injured in a bus crash in Ukraine early on July 7. They were heading to a monastery in western Ukraine’s Pochayev.

27 people injured in the accident are currently being treated at hospitals in Moscow, Pskov and Chernihiv.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
