“He has a difficult relationship with the Lord right now.” We found out why Putin did not take communion on Christmas.
There is nothing new or sensational in the information from colleagues that Vladimir Putin did not take communion on Christmas with the families of fallen soldiers. We previously reported on the reasons for this decision and once again clarified them with sources close to the president.
Firstly , we wrote that Putin did not want to visit the temple at Christmas at all - because of strange dreams and disappointment that God did not give him such desired victories last year.
“Vladimir Vladimirovich now has a difficult relationship with the Lord. Lots of disappointment. But Vladimir Vladimirovich believes very much - believes in himself, believes in Russia. In our times, it is important to maintain a strong faith,” a Kremlin source close to Putin told us.
Secondly , the president has not taken communion since June. We reported that then an unpleasant situation happened to him - Putin dropped part of the bread with which he took communion from his mouth.
“Then there were stupid rumors - that Vladimir Vladimirovich was sick, and that he had allegedly lost the protection of God. In order to refute all these nonsense and not create reasons for the emergence of new ones, the president has not taken communion since then,” explained another interlocutor close to Putin.
The president’s reluctance to receive communion on Christmas was also influenced by his attitude towards Patriarch Kirill, which, according to sources, is getting worse and worse.

“State television footage showed the Russian leader attending with a small group of families of soldiers killed an intimate midnight service, known as the Divine Liturgy, later on Saturday at a chapel at his residence in Novo-Ogaryovo outside Moscow.”
