    Whether he is sincere or merely strategic (I think the latter), this is part of why some Christian conservative, ex-cold warriors, are have take a liking to the ex-KGB agent.https://twitter.com/AP/status/1023191359241547777 …

        @HumphreyBohun To be fair, this is one aspect of Putin I agree with. His reintroduction of Russia's Christian past is actually a positive that may in the future make Russia a better place. This is not excusing what Putin has done. I am just be intellectually honest.

        *Exploitation* of Russia's Christian past. I generally agree but this doesn't justify devout Westerners looking at Putin as some sort of avatar and champion of white Christianity and isn't necessary to challenge aggressive secularism in more liberal states.

        Everyone in this photo is a former or a current KGB (FSB) agent. This sort of thing has been, in fact, a key feature of official Christianity in Russia (except for the Old Believers and other, mostly persecuted, sects) since Peter the Great.pic.twitter.com/N3yIEEyo1j

        Is some ways, before she was scared out of her wits by the French Revolution. However, she was always very aware of the weakness of her position: as a foreigner (a very minor German princess), a convert, & owing her thrown to a coup against her husband, which she had engineered.

        She could not risk any conflict with the Church, so although she sympathised with the Jews and wished to relax the Pale of the Settlement, on first signs of resistance from the Church she retreated. The same happened with most of her other reforms. Her private life and morals

        It is more complex than portrayed. And the Pope probably has a more positive view of the Russian Orthodox Church than most other Orthodox churches. Putin is occupying a space that Bush & Obama vacated when their Middle East wars helped destroy ancient Christian churches
