> Russia upholds Christianity
Why did he accompany that with a Renaissance-era painting by an Italian artist, not with a photo of recently erected temple of war near Moscow with frescoes of Pooteen? 🤔

My point was that it's not "preserving Chrisitanity" in the slightest, it's obvious they have a religion of their own and it's rather exploiting Christianity.
I know a few people who are Orthodox and who have been there inside that cathedral and did not feel comfortable — the atmosphere is gloomy-oppessive.
It's truly perverse how they attempt to incorporate elements of Soviet history, Christian aesthetics (but not essence!) and present that as traditional values.
