[Clearwisdom.Net] The whole world was watching Russia during the recent visit from the Olympic Committee and Jiang Zemin, while the Committee considered Beijing's bid for the 2008 Olympics. Russian Falun Dafa practitioners availed themselves of this excellent opportunity to clarify the truth and eliminate the evil.

Before Jiang Zemin and Chinese representatives arrived in Russia, Chinese secret agents had already begun their deceitful activities. They did their utmost to contact Russian Falun Dafa practitioners, attempting to find out all they could about local activities and planned events. They tried to identify the number of practitioners and the practice locations. The spies made special attempts, with obvious malicious intent, to locate the Chinese practitioners in Russia. Practitioners overheard them making statements among themselves, such as, "We only need to catch just one" and "They will be caught as long as they are Chinese." Their sinister goal was to destroy Falun Dafa through their persistent tricks of misrepresentation, rumormongering and fabrication. This foreign power also attempted to undermine the solidarity and structure of Russian Falun Dafa practitioners. They apparently forgot, however, that their sneaky tactics would not work in Russia. This was not China. Regardless of their deception and whatever masks they wore, Falun Dafa practitioners were able to see through them and expose their true motives and actions.

In each of Moscow's downtown streets and squares, practitioners distributed approximately ten thousand copies of Falun Dafa literature, printed in Russian, English and Chinese, that clarify the truth regarding the persecution and killing of Falun Gong practitioners in China. The urgent, global, "SOS" plea for help was disseminated through a press conference to the major media on location. The success of these practitioners was demonstrated by so many people expressing concern about the persecution in China, and by the earnest understanding they gained about Falun Dafa.

One night, while distributing the literature to foreign reporters, a few people who appeared to be Chinese representatives, suddenly seized the materials from the female practitioners and threw the materials on the floor. Many of the reporters and others in the audience immediately condemned this action. A Belgian TV station reported this contemptible behavior with video footage of the actual event. Later, a story with their photos also appeared in the newspaper.

We know there are many Chinese in Russia who thirst for the knowledge and truth of Falun Dafa. During this period, we distributed a lot of truth clarifying materials to the workplaces of Chinese people in Russia. Many others also asked for the materials, and some even asked for their relatives and friends.

The practitioners from Sweden and the USA gave us great support during this activity. They delivered the literature and clarified the truth to the foreign reporters in Moscow. During Jiang Zemin's visit to Moscow, Jiang could not escape the presence of Falun Dafa practitioners. Wherever he went, whether at the President Hotel, the Kremlin or the Government Building, he was constantly met with Fa-rectification, as practitioners would be at nearby locations, sending forth righteous thoughts to effectively suffocate the evil.

The activities of these days helped to clarify the truth of the persecution in China, thus helping those in China and other countries to learn the truth about Falun Dafa, and to crush the plot of Jiang Zemin's evil force to slander Falun Dafa and persecute the practitioners in Russia. We really felt that "Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts are powerful."

The Teacher said, "In clarifying the truth, don't wait, don't rely on others, and don't just hope for changes in external factors."

We shall constantly eliminate our attachments in the course of Fa-rectification, to better play the roles of Dafa particles.
