Mosaic with Putin Was Removed from Church of Russian Armed Forces
Orthodox Times ^ | 5/1/20

The special committee decided the removal of the mosaic with Vladimir Putin from the Church of the Russian Armed Forces at the instigation of the President of Russia himself.

Bishop Stefan of Klin stated to Russian media that the committee responsible for the interior decoration of the church “decided to remove the mosaic with the image of the Russian president, which was his wish.” The Bishop also pointed out that the mosaic was still under construction and that it was very likely that its composition would change.

It is recalled that a few days ago it became known that the Experts’ Council for Church Art, Architecture and Restoration of the Russian Orthodox Church considers that the leaders of the state and Joseph Stalin will be included in the mosaics that will decorate the walls of the church dedicated to the Armed Forces of Russia.

The statement was made by the Chair of the experts’ council, Archpriest Leonid Kalinin, in the TASS Russian News Agency. According to Leonid Kalinin, Joseph Stalin as the supreme military commander of the Soviet army in the period 1941-1945 will be included in the mosaic entitled “The Victory Parade,” which was created based on photographs. “The council considers these images to be absolutely appropriate, reflecting historical truth from pages that cannot be torn out arbitrarily,” said Archpriest Leonid Kalinin.

Putin hasn’t sunk to Macronian levels of madness yet (a few years ago Pres. Macron said he wanted to rule like the Roman god Jupiter).

He REALLY, REALLY, really wants to be Czar. And his fellow Russians know that already.
Putin is already 67 years old. He can't last forever.

I figured he’d sign with an NHL team first and get MVP in the Stanley Cup Finals. Kim Jung Il would have been a shoo-in for a green jacket at Augusta if he were willing to leave the Hermit Kingdom,

LOL!
Do you REALLY think that there would be a green jacket big enough for ole FAT-ASS Kim Jong Un?
At least Putin isn't a big, fat slob like Kim Jong Un. Putin is former KGB and wants to be Czar...that's all. Lol.
Kim Jong Un is ALREADY "emperor" of his poverty-stricken third world sewer.

I mentioned his father, who wasn't quite as rotund.

According to his biography, Kim Jung-Il first picked up a golf club in 1994, at North Korea's only golf course, and shot a 38-under par round that included no fewer than 11 holes in one. Satisfied with his performance, he reportedly immediately declared his retirement from the sport.
