The other issue is the Ukrainian Catholic Church, which the Soviets tried to suppress. I don’t think Putin recognizes it either. There were some reports of harassment right after the Russian invasion of Crimea but haven’t heard anything lately. It won’t be good for Ukrainian Catholics if part or all of Ukraine is re-annexed by Russia.
~He may be phony as any political type, but under Putin in Russia you can :
1. Pray in school
2. Reinstall the religious images where they were removed.
3. Churches are being built by the boat load
4. etc.
While non orthodox branches of the faith are having some headwinds, Christianity is resurging in a land that in my lifetime was still repressing all forms~
It seems to me that you got it right.
In Sweden it is illegal for kids in kindergarden to use terms like ‘he’ or ‘she’ and they are indoctrinating them to accept buggery via fairy tales about animal characters engaging in homosexual acts. They teach kids to report if their parents said something non-political correct at home.
I think this guy was about to say it is a Christianity in general which is a threat to ‘western civilization’ like that but decided it is too radical for now. Yet, they all love and embrace islam, despite the fact that muslims make some 10% population and at the same responsible for 90% rapes and way other half of the rest of violent crimes.
Yet, if a muslim Chechen caught commiting a crime, he is reported as Russian ordthodox mafia there.
