Vozrozhdeniye '92, a three-day crusade that was the culmination of a year-long presence in Russia by Graham associates, broke the stadium's attendance record on successive nights, attracting 42, 000 Friday, 43, 500 Saturday and 50, 000 on Sunday. An additional 20, 000 watched outside Sunday on a giant screen, Larry Ross, a Graham spokesman, said.
Statistics in and outside the facility were provided by stadium officials and police, Ross said. Previously, the highest attendance at the Olympic Stadium had been 38, 000 during the 1988 Goodwill Games.
"We believe that the crowds confirmed observations that there is a spiritual hunger here and a search for the meaning of life", Ross said Sunday.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
