In a solemn ceremony held at the RF Northern Fleet submarine base in Gadzhievo, Murmansk region, two portable iconostases were consecrated and handed over to crews of two nuclear submarine strategic missile cruisers: Knyaz Oleg and Novosibirsk, the fleet's press service reported.

An iconostasis is a wall of icons, used to divide the Altar from the rest of the church space. Portable iconostases for sailing warships are made of wood, but for submarines, they use fabric. Such icons do not take up much space in the very limited space. On church feast days, canvases with icons are unpacked and mounted on special frames. At other times, they are stored in a compact package that weighs only a few kilograms.

Two iconostases that have been handed over to submarine crews, come as a present from the retired vice-admiral Alexander Brazhnik, president of the charity Foundation for assistance to veterans and invalids of armed forces, who had served in the Northern Fleet for a long time.

Our subs have fags inside of them

Don’t you still need to be a short in stature person to work on a Sub? Maybe not, if they are being built larger with more living space.

Big deal, ours will have bathhouses.

An exclusive look in the Subs launch bay:

Russia is the single greatest example of why there should be separation of Church and State. Russia used the state religion to suppress the serfs and demand obedience so that “Gods Representative on Earth” aka the Czar could run amok unchallenged. Looks like Putler is trying to do the same. Our Founding Fathers were wise.

“Russia is the single greatest example of why there should be separation of Church and State.”

Do you people even know what that means?

[Claud]

Separation of Church and State is nonsense.

We didn’t have a federal established religion at our founding because we were comprised of a number of different colonies/states that all had very different established religious traditions. There was no way a federal church could be imposed over all that mess.

BUT many of the individual states continued to have established religions....some lasted into the 1830s.

A properly ordered state needs an established religion. Now of course you can find faults with any particular manifestation of it in Russia or elsewhere, but the idea that government can be purely secular and irreligious is a bad one and comes from a misreading of early American history.
