In Russian military they can wear Christian crosses, while not in our military. Military units are blessed by the priest when they finish basic training. Several new churches are being in Moscow and other cities, and Putin the Cathedral of Christ the Savior rebuilt that was destroyed by communists on orders by Stalin.

I can't think of anything B. Obama did to promote Christianity in the U.S. However, I do recall him criticizing it.

If you visit Russia, you will see new Stalin statues erected and memoribilia sold — often steps from the very churches he destroyed.

In one apartment I stayed in, I slept under a postcard portrait of portrait next to a Virgin Mary icon.

Blame the schizophrenia on Putin and the ex KGB running the Orthodox Church.

In Russian apt, I slept under a postcard-sized portrait of Stalin next to a Virgin Mary icon.* Blame the spiritual schizophrenia of Stalin-support/Soviet Nostalgia and questionable resurgent Christianity on Putin.

Sorry typo.

Christianity has to be internal my friend, not just external.

And there is nothing Christian about undermining Israel which is what Russian forces in Middle East have been doing alongside Iran and to Assad’s content. Its more blasphemous and offensive to God — to perpetuate Putin’s agenda in the name of Christ.

Its like, great: revive the Soviet Union, start a new Cold War, but to use’s God’s name this time? That is inviting even more wrath from God. And thats how I felt while living in Russia too.

But there is a resistance brewing. Praise God.
