Two things which Russia has taken over, i.e. the protection of Christians and Christianity in the world (our own government seems hell bent on exterminating Christianity and Christians), and professional boxing. If you want to watch prize fights any more you almost have to speak Russian.
For as much time Beck has covered "spooky dude", would think he would shine the spotlight on this, regarding Ukraine and push to join EU/IMF
Putin most certainly does not protect non-Russian Orthodox, or should I say, non-KGB/FSB churches. Evangelical, baptist, etc. church plants are harassed and attacked and are subject to indiscriminate persecution by the FSB. Many, in fact, have been closed, due to such harassment from the authorities.
