(FILES) Guy Trompat (C), father of Kevin Trompat, and mourners take part in a 'Marche Blanche' (White March) to pay tribute to youths murdered Leslie Hoorelbeke and Kevin Trompat, in Niort on March 12, 2023. Guy Trompat will appear in court in Niort on June 2, 2023, on charges of death threats and incitement to murder - he is said to have offered a sum of money to anyone who would kill the people suspected of killing his son, or their relatives. Five men suspected of having set up a deadly ambush to kill Kevin and Leslie have been indicted and imprisoned. (Photo by YOHAN BONNET / AFP)

(FILES) In this file photo taken on May 22, 2007 a woman passes behind the Trinity icon by Andrei Rublev at the Tretyakov picture gallery in Moscow. For nearly a century, visitors came to Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery to admire the perfect harmony of Russia's most famous icon: the "Trinity", painted by the legendary Andrei Rublev in the Middle Ages. The almost 600-year-old artwork depicting three angels is one of the most recognisable Russian masterpieces in the world. This month, however, President Vladimir Putin handed over the historic icon to the Russian Orthodox Church, the latest sign of the tightening alliance between the Kremlin and religious leaders. The handover has sparked an outcry from restorers and art historians, who warn the extremely fragile mediaeval icon might not survive outside the Tretyakov Gallery's walls. The transfer comes as Russia's offensive in Ukraine stretches into its second year, with Patriarch Kirill throwing his support behind the assault and saying that dying in Ukraine "washes away all sins". The Saint Petersburg-based Hermitage Museum also said a Russian monastery will receive the silver sarcophagus of Alexander Nevsky, a medieval prince and national hero. Hermitage director Mikhail Piotrovsky, who has lauded the Ukraine offensive, said it was the right move "at this geopolitical time." (Photo by Natalia KOLESNIKOVA / AFP)

A picture shows the silver sarcophagus of Alexander Nevsky, a medieval prince and national hero, at the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg on May 24, 2023. For nearly a century, visitors came to Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery to admire the perfect harmony of Russia's most famous icon: the "Trinity", painted by the legendary Andrei Rublev in the Middle Ages. The almost 600-year-old artwork depicting three angels is one of the most recognisable Russian masterpieces in the world. This month, however, President Vladimir Putin handed over the historic icon to the Russian Orthodox Church, the latest sign of the tightening alliance between the Kremlin and religious leaders. The handover has sparked an outcry from restorers and art historians, who warn the extremely fragile mediaeval icon might not survive outside the Tretyakov Gallery's walls. The transfer comes as Russia's offensive in Ukraine stretches into its second year, with Patriarch Kirill throwing his support behind the assault and saying that dying in Ukraine "washes away all sins".
