Was it you, whom we've discussed this supernatural stuff with? It's thriving in the army, with a new "Christian" twist!
What do you mean it has nothing to do with Christianity? They are upholding traditional Christian values, so of course using traditional Christian belt with 20% resistance to bullets makes sense 😂

Yes, precisely! Adding it to my list of weird things happening in Russia :)

When they started making movies in this vein, no one expected for people to actually start buying into that. One notably bad example of such came out in 2021, it's about an NKVD agent, a woman, stealing the icon from Nazi occupied territory, so they can put it on a plane to fly around Moscow to save it from the attack. And she's following direct order from Stalin, who in turn was instructed to do it by a blind "Orthodox" seer. Can you imagine the magnitude of bullshit? 🤪

In Poland we had some such scammers, selling things like dried beetroot for big $$$ as a remedy for cancer etc. In absolute numbers many people spent money for that, but overall that was a tiny fraction of the overall population. In Russia it seems like it’s not only becoming widespread phenomenon, but even some kind of state policy. I have no doubt all this bullshit is only about money, because all that nonsense is funded either from donations or state budget. And I mean both such movies and the actual “holy pictures” and other nonsense.
