The Russian central bank has stopped circulation of a new 1,000-ruble note following complaints from some priests of the Russian Orthodox Church. The priests complained that the image on the note of a church in Tatarstan does not have a cross on it. But the real church also does not have a cross on the exterior. It was removed by the Bolsheviks after the Russian Revolution of 1917.
