Nonsense. Less than 4% of Russians have ever read any of the Bible. Putin's restoration of the Orthodox church is a propaganda sham, as quite easy to see in the Russian Orthodox Church's hysterical response to the call for a Ukrainian Orthodox Patriarch independent of Moscow. The Russian Orthodox Church remains what it has always been: a tool of the Russian state.
There is already a canonical Ukranian bishop, who has openly refused to become Patriarch. The issue with Denshenko has to do with Canon Law, Church law over 1,000 years old. Denshenko is an adulterer and murderer. He got kicked out the Church and started his own. This is anathema. The Russian Church’s response to this is not hysterical. The other Patriarchs side with Moscow. Can you name the other Patriarchs? Do you know their mutual authority?
Much like how science has nothing to do with politics, Canon Law has nothing to do with politics. But most people who aren’t Orthodox wouldn’t be able to comprehend the situation, unless they were willing to sit down and actually listen to someone explain it.
