I personally believe it comes from her childhood where the Church in Russia was a willing co-conspirator along with the Romanovs in the oppression of the people.

What? She was raised Jewish.

"What? She was raised Jewish."

I'm not talking about her religion but the society in which she grew up. An absolute monarchy that was a church state intertwined with the Russian Orthodox Church. They were like pre-enlightenment western Europe in the 20th century. Even as a Jew, growing up in Russia at the turn of the 20th century, you were influenced by the ruling grip of the Russian Orthodox church.
