With the letter from TS Adyar, signed by Tim Boyd, accusing Russian Adamant Lodge of misconduct, the lodge is expelled from TS Aydar effective immediately. You can read the letter here (jpg).

What may seem like an, albeit extraordinary, measure is justified becomes incomprehensible when one reads the Adamant Lodge statement claiming,

The decision of the General Council of the Theosophical Society (Adyar), headed by an American citizen Tim Boyd, to liquidate the Adamant Lodge without providing the documents on the basis of which this decision was made is unprecedented. The leadership of Adyar did not bother to acquaint the Theosophists with either the Protocol of the General Council or any other information, for example, who exactly was present at the General Council and what exactly the Adamant Lodge was accused of, did not bother to request explanations from the Adamant Lodge, on the basis of which a decision would have been made to revoke the status of a Lodge (Charter).

This now had the consequence

that the Russian Lodge "Adamant", as well as other members of the Theosophical Society with diplomas from the TS (Adyar), namely 46 theosophists, announce their official withdrawal from membership of the TS (Adyar), according to their personal statements.

You can read the full statement of the Lodge here. So form your own opinion.

However, if it's true, that such a far-reaching decision is made without giving any concrete reasons, then it seemingly is an injustice, which currently appears as a continuation of the geopolitical problems within the movement of Theosophy. Once again, this would not reflect well on Adyar.
