The post-Soviet Russian government never repealed the Stalin era laws passed by atheists to strengthen the USSR, unlike the Western nations that repealed restrictions imposed by once Christian legislatures. Putin sometimes goes to church. But so do Biden, Pelosi, Obama, etc., yet most on FR would deny the American politicians are Christians.
More significant are the facts that Russia is closely aligned with Red China, the Russians maintain close ties with Communist controlled nations from North Korea to Venezuela, and the relics of Communism, such as the red star over the Kremlin and the prominence of Lenin's tomb in Red Square speak more of Russia's true orientation than a Russian leader publicly making the Sign of the Cross occasionally.
It is interesting to see how folks twist things, I may be wrong but isn’t abortion legal in Russia, does Christ endorse suppression of speech, violence, invasion,war…. The fact that the US and the west in general have fled God, does not make Russia the bastion and salvation of Christianity as some claim
I used to like tucker, and he is right on many things, but not this one.
To use an analogy hitler was a very evil man, but not everything he did was bad.
Putin is evil, doesn’t necessarily mean everything he does is bad or that everything in Russia is evil
Because the west is going down the toilet does not mean that Russia is the shining city on the hill…..
Invasion, assignation,….. sure west does that so therefore Russia is in the right?
The “logic” is strong there
