Moscow, March 2, Interfax - Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin told reporters on Monday about the wording of a president-submitted constitutional amendment that includes a reference to God.
"The Russian Federation, which has a millennia-long history and safeguards the memory of the forefathers who passed the ideals and faith in God to us, as well as the continuity of the development of the Russian state, shall be recognized as historically developed state unity," Volodin said.
One of the amendments submitted by the Russian president on Monday in the run-up to the second reading of the bill on changes to the Constitution defines marriage as a union of a man and woman, State Duma Deputy Speaker Pyotr Tolstoy said.
Glad to see the Russians do that.
Bolshevik Bernie will be upset!
Russia is to the Right of the DNC.
Glad to see the Russians do that.
Meaning as espoused by the Russian state church, while others are forbidden to share their faith even on the phone, and suffer persecution .
Makes me wonder if the Dems will leave GOD OUT of their plans this year!
And the irony is that the Russian orthodox church is a dead church. Membership numbers are extremely high; attendance is extremely low.
It is just a stupid religion, led by luxory watch-collectors and former FSB agents. That is its appeal to Putin.
No doubt about it.
The Democrat leadership will change because it doesn't necessarily reflect what the majority of Democrats believe. A socialist like Sanders? A Communist like Ocasio-Cortez? A liar like BigChiefLizzieWarren?
