This fool is either delusional or an FSB propagandist.

Stalin had a few pet priests when he needed them, too. The vast majority of Russian priests got a bullet in the back of the head, but the commies kept a few for emergencies, like “The Great Patriotic War”.

This goes very far back. Before Rome became the official seat of Christendom, there were several contenders that claimed to be the center of Christianity. After Rome fell, and the Roman Empire shifted its seat to Constantinople (now Istanbul), it became the new center of Christianity.

When Constantinople fell in 1453, the Russians assumed that Moscow was to be the new center of Christianity. However, this didn’t happen, and the center switched back to Rome.

And the Russians have been peeved about this since.

Putin revitalized the idea, in a masterstroke, inviting the heads of all the Orthodox Christian churches but the Roman church to come to Moscow for a conclave. And that has got the ball rolling to the idea of Moscow being “the new Rome”.

So I am not surprised at all with the idea that Russia is the only major nation not “enslaved” to socialism or other anti-Christian rule.

I’m Orthodox and have a lot of respect for the Russian Church which survived the most brutal persecution in the history of Christianity and is one of the few churches that is firmly holding its ground against the tide of relativism and secularism as well as Islamo-Facism. But... this guy has a reputation of long standing as a nut job.

He might have a more convincing argument if killing unborn people wasn’t legal in the land of the non-slaved.

He probably means slavery in the sense of being slaves to the Wall-St/London banking cartels....
