Tell your mom that you've added The Special Sanctions Sock to your harīm.
“The FR Putinistas have no problem with a Rooskie-Iran axis of evil. All because in the feeble minds, Putin is the world leader in anti-GloboHomo.”
I imagine the reason they ‘want’ to believe that is because putin ‘claims’ to be Christian and they fall for it. putin is smart enough to manipulate them.
Interrogate yourself. You do plenty of that right here. By showing your ass.
“I imagine the reason they ‘want’ to believe that is because putin ‘claims’ to be Christian and they fall for it.”
Putin’s main audience is the Russian peoples. The old babushkas love his displays of religiosity. All dumb Rooskies fall for it. These displays gives Vlad cover for invading Ukraine and his other evils.
The head of Roooskie Orthodox Church is ex-KGB and is probably still linked to Putin’s security apparatus.
_____________
Answer
Yes, the current head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, has ties to the KGB, the former Soviet intelligence agency.
KGB Background
Patriarch Kirill, whose secular name is Vladimir Mikhailovich Gundyayev, worked for Soviet intelligence while living in Switzerland in the 1970s25. According to declassified Swiss police files, he operated under the code name “Mikhailov” while officially serving as a representative of the Russian Orthodox Church at the World Council of Churches in Geneva258.
Mission and Influence
His primary task was to influence the World Council of Churches on behalf of Soviet interests58. The objectives included:
Pushing the organization to denounce the United States and its allies
Toning down criticism of the lack of religious freedoms in the Soviet Union
Rise to Power
After returning to the Soviet Union, Kirill quickly advanced through the church hierarchy11. He became Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus’ in 2009, making him the head of the Russian Orthodox Church9.
Current Role and Controversy
As Patriarch, Kirill has maintained close ties with the Kremlin and has been a strong supporter of President Vladimir Putin1114
. He has endorsed Putin’s policies and has even supported Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has led to criticism and controversy within the Orthodox Christian community14
18.
Kirill’s past involvement with the KGB and his current political stance have made him a controversial figure, both within Russia and internationally14

You asked and I answered. As for the rest, KMA. Glad we cleared that up.
Thanks for this pertinent info!
I have read a bit about Kirill before. He’s no Christian either, imo.
Not the oligarchs, not the military. Putin’s security apparatus is what rules Russia. “Security” meaning FSB, meaning all challenges to Putin’s supreme rule are suppressed, repressed, or liquidated.
So this ex-KGB, bs cleric Patriarch Kirill, fits in just fine. He is 100% Putin’s man and will obey Putin 100%, to facilitate Vlad’s supreme rule over Russia, and Vlad’s invasion of Ukraine.
