This report in the Siberian Times has pictures, and a copy of a "church statement and police report" (in Russian):

Interesting case - not often one hears of incidents from Russia. One typical characteristic that happens in almost every poltergeist case is that; if the person living there - either themselves use sage and prayers, or if they contact clergy to make a formal blessing/house-exorcism - things usually calms down, or comes to a halt, for a few days. But then it stirs up again - with a vengeance - and is often twice as intense as it was initially.
And this case doesn't seem to be any different:
Quote:'A priest was sent to talk to the family and pray.
'He also witnessed all the things described in the report.
'When the priest arrived, so-called poltergeist calmed down a bit, but then the phenomenon continued.

Quote:A spokesman for the local Russian Orthodox Church confirmed to Tomsk.ru that the clergymen consecrated the haunted house and stayed overnight.
“The so-called ‘poltergeist’ has quieted down somewhat upon the priest’s arrival, but then these phenomena continued again,” the spokesman was quoted as saying.
