Thus the revolution begins,” the SerpomPo telegram channel says, with the population ready to come into the square to defend its rights and dignity against the powers of “the mafia state, in this case, the state’s church department,” a segment of the regime which has failed to draw the necessary conclusions from its Ukrainian losses.

The church hierarchs “continue to conduct themselves boldly, hoping that the bosses will provide them protection forever,” forgetting that they and their protectors have fallen into “two ‘black holes,’ corruption in the state and corruption in the church.

“The atmosphere in the country is changing quickly. Suddenly out of nowhere are arising protests throughout the entire country. Moreover, pickets against torture are continuing, despite the repressions and resistance to the mafia state is growing.”

The chief thing that has happened, it says, is that “the powers that be have lost or are losing the moral basis of their rule, the certainty of society that the bosses are acting correctly.” Instead, the Russian people see that the powers that be are maintaining themselves by “naked force” alone.

“But as is well known, one can use bayonets to deal with opponents but one can’t sit on them for long,” SerpomPo says. “Our rulers, undoubtedly, are going to try,” it continues. But by doing so, they will only show the people what those above them think about the people – and once they see that, no amount of bayonets will help for long.

LOL. The issue is rather minor and so local, not only to a single city but to a neighborhood.
I actually understand the feelings of people who don’t want another church there but the way Soros crowd is trying to highjack and make it big is truly ridiculous.
