The Orthodox Church may yet be the salvation of Russia.
It’s possible that its roots run deeper than either communism or corruption.
If so, proof of the Holy Spirit at work in the world.
FWIW, I am not of the Orthodox faith tradition, but one cannot help but admire the power of the Spirit that considers against all odds a pretty fair fight.
Bonus Points: The Orthodox Church does not seem to be easily deceived by the oxymoron of moderate Muslims.
30 years ago, I would have placed the odds of me seeing this in my lifetime at zero.
