Assessment
Reliability Tier
2
Tier 2: a news article reporting a named sociologist's unofficial estimate at second hand rather than a primary financial document, which is the honest ceiling available given that the Russian Orthodox Church publishes no accounts of its own; the article itself calls Mitrokhin's figure 'unofficial data.'
