Russians chose Zartoshti Faith.

( be farsi inja bekhanid )

On the 31st Ordibehesht 3743 (21st of May 2005  ), Bozorg Bazgasht Anjoman and Zoroastrian Community  organised an initiation ceremony for a group of 6 Russians who had chosen Zarathushtra's way. They have chosen not only to be Zartoshti but also they have chosen Iranian/Avestan names for themselves. We ask all Zoroastrians and Iranians worldwide to welcome them to the fold. Check their photo.
