Russia's Historical Mission is to Keep Europe from Breaking Away From Christian Tradition -FIS Chief
Interfax ^ | 10/22/19

Moscow, October 22, Interfax - The historical mission of Russia consists in keeping Europe from breaking away from the Christian tradition and attempting to create a "Brave New World," Russian Foreign Intelligence Service chief Sergey Naryshkin said.

"To Russia and Serbia, the events of WWII are an important reminder not only of the common historical fates of our peoples, of the glorious victories and heavy losses. The essence of the historical mission of Russia and other Slavic states, which is to do everything to keep Europe from fully breaking away from the Christian tradition and attempts to make a 'Brave New World' on Earth, is in a certain sense written upon this bloody page of world history,' Naryshkin said in his article published by the Belgrade newspaper Vecernje Novosti.

It does not matter whether such a "brave new world" is built on "the cult of racial exceptionalism, civilizational or technological supremacy, mass consumption or the totalitarian dominance of cyber technologies, for instance," Naryshkin said.

For a long time the order, laid down in Europe since the capitulation of Nazi Germany and abettors, had ensured peace and inviolability of borders on the continent.

"Abandoning it, without forming an equivalent, universally acceptable collective security system is tantamount to opening the Pandora box. What if we hold a thought experiment and imagine successive destruction of the 'pillars' of the current European order? What would, say, Lithuania which today slams the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, make of a recognition of the now invalid secret protocol thereto, which in 1939 gave away Vilna Governorate with the country's modern-day capital Vilnius? Or how would Poland look upon a prospect of giving up Silesia and a part of East Prussia?"

The late 20th century, "which brought about geopolitical tragedies for Russia and for Serbia" became an illustrative example of the high price that has to be paid for redrawing borders and "reformatting" certain elements of the world order, Naryshkin said.

"Regrettably, back then Moscow could not provide Belgrade with necessary assistance. Russia was too weak, worn out by the fight against domestic separatism and international terrorism... Twenty years on, the expectations of American political analysts failed to materialize: Washington building a unipolar world on the wreckage of other countries did not succeed."

The actions of the U.S. and its NATO allies failed to destroy the idea of the need to create a uniform international security system, making the Yalta-Potsdam principles all the more relevant in the modern-day, multipolar-leaning world.

"In this world, Russia is again one of leading powerhouses. Today our country, to the envy of many in the West, is characterized by strong values, powerful military potential, firm political will, and readiness for decisive action on international stage. We are ready again to stand up for ourselves and defend our allies and friends," Naryshkin said.

Correct.

In fact, a good many of the ills facing the world today can be traced directly to Marx, Lenin, and the chaos wreaked upon the wormd.by Bolshevism.

The eastern churches, especially the Orthodox, including the Russian Orthodox, are the only churches left in Europe with a chance of surviving the nihilistic onslaught. Now that the Vatican has crumbled into a dilapidated heap of secular heresy, The Patriarchs are the only hope.

True. Unfortunately, there are more than a few Putin sycophants here at FR that will lap this propaganda.

Russia goes on a 70 year bender of godless communism, then turns around and lectures us on righteousness.

“Russia broke away first.”

It’s good to see them thinking right now.

Are they the only country left in the world proclaiming themselves a Christian country? No.

But they are one of the very few.

And that’s a strong foundation for a civil society.

Maybe their history makes them uniquely qualified to give that lecture. No people suffered more from Communism than the Russians themselves.

As a “for what it’s worth”, the messages in True Life In God about Russia have intrigued me the most.

For example:

I Will Resurrect Russia As I Have Resurrected Lazarus
January 4, 1988

Satan Offered Russia The Deadly Fruit
January 5, 1988

Russia Will Be The Symbol Of God's Glory
February 1, 1988

My Russia, How I The Lord Love You!
March 11, 1988

I Shall Overthow All The Imposters In My Church
My Russia Shall Be The Living Example Of Your Times
November 13, 1989

Do Not Harden Your Heart, Doubting
A Prayer For Russia
July 8, 1990

Prophecy: I Will Deliver You (Russia) And Place You As Head Of Many Nations
The Earth Soon Will Shake And With A Roar The Sky Will Vanish
September 9, 1992

Prophecy: Russia Will Govern The Rest Of My Children In Holiness
October 20, 1992

Prophecy: I Will Lift Her (Russia) To Become The Head Of Many Nations
October 25, 1992

Again, “For what it’s worth” as I’ve never been 100% certain about the TLIG messages.

As a reader, I let myself believe they are what they say they are and I usually have that experience with them.

However...to me, the Russia messages are the most intriguing.

A lot was happening in the world when these messages about Russia were written, which makes them even more intriguing to me. Even more so now to see what appears to be prophecies coming true?

But, of course, like with all things: “Your mileage may vary”.

Correct. The Orthodox have not given into the abominations that the Western churches largely are. Only they can save Christianity.

I was in Moscow a few years back. The WW2 celebration was going on. Crowds. Some Russian people were handing out gospel tracts and gave me one.

Christianity is not disparaged there, like we are experiencing here.

The wall came down. It is no longer the USSR.

Russia is finally remembering. When Rome fell to the barbarians, the center of Christendom shifted to Constantinople. Then when Constantinople fell to the Muslims in 1453, Moscow assumed it would become the new center of Christendom. But it shifted back to Rome, and the Russians have stewed about it ever since.

And now once again, Rome is falling to the barbarians and Muslims.

Regardless of what Russia wants to do or has done, Western Europe is in DEATH SPIRAL, and seems absolutely clueless.

Russia, at least, is trying to prevent the same fate by taking some steps that are very unpopular these days with Western governments, like protecting their kids from recruitment by gays.

For crying out loud the Russians helped to start WW2! Honestly, Russian revisionism infuriates the hell out of me.
