A very tiny number of Russians even show up for that special day and Christmas, estimates run as low as 1%.

“In Russia the Orthodox celebrations of last Christmas, according to police assessments, were attended by 1 million 400 thousand people, equal to 1% of the population. It is a clearly lower figure than that of 5 or 10 years ago; however not everyone accepts it: some say the police didn’t count correctly; in any case, no type of calculation records a presence of the faithful higher than 3%, and in one of the major holidays.”

Well, here is your Ukraine church worshipping Nazi collaborator/murderer, Stepan Bandera. Russian orthodox church is now banned in Ukraine. Of course, not a peep about this in the western news media. Maybe someday you will catch on.
