No One Saw It Coming: Rise of Christianity in Russia Baffles US Establishment

RUSSIA INSIDER – A greater mystery than Russia’s newfound political prominence is Russia’s sudden role as the world’s leading defender of Christianity.  It seems inconceivable that former KGB operative Vladimir Putin now chastises Western nations for abandoning their Christian roots.  Putin says:

“The people in the West are actually ashamed of their religious affiliation and are indeed frightened  to speak about them.  Christian holidays and celebrations are abolished  or neutrally renamed as if they were ashamed of those Christian holidays.  With this method one hides away the deeper moral value of theses celebrations.  And those countries try to force this model onto other countries, globally.  I am deeply convinced that this is a direct way to the degradation and primitivization of culture.  This leads to a deeper demographic and moral crisis in the West.”
