The head of External Church Relations, Metropolitan Illarion, said that every five minutes one Christian was dying for his or her faith in some part of the world, specifying that he was talking about such countries as Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan and India. The cleric asked Putin to make the protection of Christians one of the foreign policy directions in future.

“This is how it will be, have no doubt,” Putin answered.

Finally, a world leader acknowledges that Christians have been singled out for persecution and murder in the Middle East. Is it the leader of one of the Western powers? No, it's Vladimir Putin who will make the protection of Christians a foreign policy goal.

[Psalm 144]

“Finally, a world leader acknowledges that Christians have been singled out for persecution and murder in the Middle East. Is it the leader of one of the Western powers? No, it’s Vladimir Putin who will make the protection of Christians a foreign policy goal.”

How many generations of Christians prayed for the Soviet Union to fall, and for Russia to be restored as a Christian nation? Then there are signs of it, and many refuse to believe it. Did they think God so indifferent? Or are they themselves as godless as Lenin?

I wonder, in the course of his life, how many prayers were lifted by Alexander Solzhenitsyn alone?

I’m going to pray for the success of Russia’s campaign against ISIS. Given half a chance, Russia will crush them.
