In the fall of 2020, restoration work began on the iconostasis of the Church of St. Barlaam of Khutyn, one of the 11 churches inside the iconic St. Basil’s Cathedral on Moscow’s Red Square.

Now, work on the icons is finished and they are being returned to the Holy Protection Cathedral, commonly known as St. Basil’s because it’s home to the relics of St. Basil the Fool-for-Christ, reports RIA-Novosti.

Hope the globalists don’t show up on here to call you a Putinista. You’re not allowed to post any positive stories about Russia without risking their wrath. 🤦‍♀️

For those who need a refresh on 4th century church history...here

They only live to see stories about mass murders of Russians. Sick and evil. If Putin was the anti-Christian Communist they allege, he wouldn’t be restoring churches or allowing restoration of such religious iconography.

"Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."

There is a difference between ordinary Russians and Putin’s egotistical war.

Putin also restored mosques around Russia and his army has the jihadi Chechen Kadyrov troops. Does that make him pro Muslim too?

Too bad Russia is ruled by a thug.

[livius]

This is the real reason we hate Russia. When it was Communist, the press and politicians here couldn’t praise it enough.

[Romulus]

Yes.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Grow up.

Russia is fortunate to have a strong, Christian and patriotic leader serving as a bulwark between Red China and a globalist degenerate Western Europe. Most unlike the treasonous puke in Ukraine who desires WW3 and does the bidding of Soros, Schwab and other evil Stalinazi monsters.

Putin is a Russian nationalist who was a KGB agent. He uses the Russian Orthodox Church to advance his interests, not because he's a devout believer.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I judge a person on their actions, and his actions demonstrate he is a Christian. A real KGB Communist would be destroying Christian and pro-family institutions. In other words, they’d be like your typical Demonrat.

Different St. Basil. "St. Basil's Cathedral" is named for this fellow, not the 4th century Greek father.
