MOSCOW, July 25 (RIA Novosti) – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday praised the role of Orthodox Christianity in the country’s history and congratulated the heads of the world’s Orthodox churches on the 1025th anniversary of the Christianization of Kievan Rus, a medieval state comprising parts of modern-day Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
“The adoption of Christianity became a turning point in the fate of our fatherland, made it an inseparable part of the Christian civilization and helped it turn into one of the largest world powers,” Putin said in a message addressed to participants of a commemorative celebration on Red Square, the Kremlin reported.
“It is Orthodoxy that gave Russia a powerful impetus for the development and rise of culture and education,” the message says.
Putin also praised the Russian Orthodox Church’s role in developing a constructive dialogue with other Orthodox churches as well as international collaboration.

I lived in South Korea for 6 years and I’m in Beijing now. Moved here in 2010.
Excellent! Your plan came together and you acted on it! (The way your prior post was worded, it wasn't clear that you had done so.) Shay-shay.
One of the silver linings of the former Easter Bloc countries had from being behind the Iron Curtain is that they haven’t had the influx of Turd Worlders that Western Europe has had.....I believe that will make Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary highly desirable destinations in the future, as Western Europe falls to Dhimmitude.
Thanks for your comments. I often post comments saying I’m from China, so I incorrectly assumed you knew where I was currently located. However, it’s good to converse with you.
Sounds understandable. Good to know you.
Putin is making sense these days.
