Finally! The Russian Orthodox Church has announced a day of commemoration “for all Orthodox Christians who suffered at the hands of the godless Soviet authorities”.
According to sources close to the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, “the hierarchs resolved to establish October 30 as a day of special commemoration for all those who were innocently killed or imprisoned” during the years of Soviet rule.
This is significant in my estimation. For one thing, the language used –i.e. “godless Soviet authorities–is quite bold. It indicates that the Church is now mature enough to call a spade a spade. It also indicates that the political situation in the Russian Federation is anti-communist enough to not have to placate that particular ideology.
To those who have been to Russia in the recent past, this should come as no surprise as the Christian revival is clearly obvious.

Better late than never! Sort of.
Russia has passed through its hideous Communist era, and publicly recognizes it - therefore, it will be safe from neo-marxism, wokism and all kinds of communist perversion for at least the next 50 years or a few generations.
Thanks Russia. We need all the prayers we can get.
Is that the 100 million lost to communism.
A friendly reminder to all the people who have Putin hate boners: If not for Putin and his party the communist party would be ruling Russia, so I don’t give two doo-doo’s if Putin’s government cracks down hard on the opposition
I remember reading in Victor Sheymov’s book Tower of Secrets, that the students that finished at the bottom of KGB classes he took were sent to the Russian Orthodox Church. Looks like those folks have finally retired.
Look at it he post immediately above. I never thought I would live to see Moscow sponsoring a national call to prayer, and Canada padlocking churches and arresting Christian ministers.
More like 200 million.
