A further challenge for the national Russian identity is connected to the processes we observe outside of Russia. They include foreign policy, moral, and other aspects. We see that many Euro-Atlantic states have taken the way where they deny or reject their own roots, including their Christian roots which form the basis of Western civilization.
In these countries, the moral basis and any traditional identity are being denied - national, religious, cultural, and even gender identities are being denied or relativised. There, politics treats a family with many children as juridically equal to a homosexual partnership; faith in God is equal to faith in Satan. The excesses and exaggerations of political correctness in these countries indeed leads to serious consideration for the legitimization of parties that promote the propaganda of paedophilia.
The people in many European states are actually ashamed of their religious affiliations and are indeed frightened to speak about them. Christian holidays and celebrations are abolished or "neutrally" renamed, as if one were ashamed of those Christian holidays. With this method one hides away the deeper moral value of those celebrations.
And these countries try to force this model onto other nations, globally. I am deeply convinced that this is a direct way to the degradation and primitivization of culture. This leds to deeper demographic and moral crisis in the West.
What can be better evidence for the moral crisis of human society in the West than the loss of its reproductive function? And today nearly all "developed" Western countries cannot survive reproductively, not even with the help of migrants.
Without the moral values that are rooted in Christianity and other world religions, without rules and moral values which have formed, and been developed, over millennia, people will inevitably lose their human dignity and become brutes. And we think it is right and natural to defend and preserve these Christian moral values.
One has to respect the right of every minority to self-determination, but at the same time there cannot and must not be any doubt about the rights of the majority.
At the same time as this process plays out at a national level in the West, we observe on an international level the attempts to create a unipolar, unified model of the world, to relativise and remove institutions of international rights and national sovereignty. In such a unipolar, unified world there is no place for sovereign states. Such a world needs merely vassals.
From a historical perspective, such a unipolar world would mean the surrender of one's own identity and of God-created diversity.
I’ve had similar thoughts.
You will recall the fawning adoration liberals lavished on Gorbachev. They would have gladly done that for Putin as well but for the fact he chose to prevent the gay agenda from dominating Russian culture.
It’s pathetic how transparent these people are.
The guy is 100% right. Moreover Trump and him see eye to eye on the importance of cultural and sovereignty issues.
They are going to make a great team - they’ll reshape the world the way Reagan and Thatcher did.
Who would have believed that the most pro-western civ, pro-Christian leader in the world is a Russian!! And he’s very eloquent about it.
White Christian nation that doesn’t allow Islamic invasion or homosexual recruitment of minors.
No wonder bathhouse Barry hates them.
Didn’t Bergoglio say he gets coprophilia or something when people talk about the “Christian roots of Europe”?
I think Trump and Putin have a mutual understanding in some areas including this,
Yeah, his years in the KGB and the atheistic communist party were just a youthful indiscretion. No one would think he was just an opportunist then or now, like Milosevic.
And Putin did more than fawn on Gorbachev. Before and after him, he, as a KGB Colonel, was an integral part of the Evil Empire. He defended that system. He wasn’t a conscript. He worked for it out of dedication and devotion, the Soviet Empire, even as it suppressing freedom in satellite states and sending people off to the deadly Gulag. He has said that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the worst thing to happen in the 20th Century. Not WWI and WWII. Not the collapse of monarchies. Not the Gulag or the Holocaust. The worst thing to him was the collapse of the Evil Empire, as a real conservative, Ronald Reagan, called it.
Yes it was very well stated by Putin.
The west is a creation of Christianity and European blood, without that dual force it is doomed to fail. For all its imperfections western European civilization combined with English limited government is the very best humanity has created to date. It should be celebrated, not denigrated.
It takes a KGB national leader to say this, while all the western leaders are mute. I truly find it hard to trust the Russian bear, but speaking the truth is some evidence he at least understands the problem. Merkel and the other leaders do not, or worse, they are traitors.
Said another way: The western nations of NATO are at this very moment saying despite the Muslim terrorism they must have open borders, must import Muslims and the great threat to Europe are right wing folks. The leaders of the west are destroying their own countries and Putin, autocratic journalist killer that he is, is the only leader saying the truth. How can one disregard him?
I hope he and Trump can come to a true rapprochement.

Leftists are made at Russians for abandoning Communism.
He is correct though. “Trust but verify”
>Yeah, his years in the KGB and the atheistic communist party were just a youthful indiscretion. No one would think he was just an opportunist then or now, like Milosevic.
You’re the worst type of Christian. A man is raised in a godless atheist society and embraces Christianity later in his life and brings million of people back to Christ but that’s not good enough for your high standards. Bleh.
Shhhh - not so loud; obama and the democrats might hear you.
Most americans can't see chistianity as anything to fight about, still see Russia as a communist threat and are locked into social media group think. Dumbed down electorate and the fake news media make it hard to figure out the score for low information voters.
“Yeah, his years in the KGB and the atheistic communist party were just a youthful indiscretion. No one would think he was just an opportunist then or now, like Milosevic.”
Putin’s mother was a Christian. He was raised with Christian beliefs.
Good thing our God has grace eh? Many a sinner has been turned towards Him and that’s a wonderful thing, no?
