In this study, authors map and analyze the case of protest against the transfer of the St. Isaacs's Cathedral in St.Petersburg, Russia, to Russian Orthodox Church as it reflexed in public sphere. Using the combination of social network analysis method and content analysis of mass media, authors find and classifies the core groups of protest action.
