The same “Christian Russia” that produced the atheist Soviet Union that persecuted Christians for than 60 years?
Exactly. But that was ancient history, before records were kept. Or it seems so since anything older than a couple of years is the irrelevant past if it’s not convenient to remember. Many who are today’s journalists will refer to certain items like cars, computers, and TVs as “modern” if they are more recent models. So, a “modern computer” or a “modern car.” And 30 or 40 years ago is apparently the pre-modern “Dark Ages,” a mysterious time that people nowadays apparently know little about.
