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 😂

I’ve not only read but I’ve seen it in person :) Probably 50% people I know in Russia visit all kinds of “psychics” on regular basis, buy amulets, pay absurd money for all that nonsense and treat it dead serious.
I had a funny encounter when I was sitting in such a company and they happily discussed which of the local “psychics” is best and they clearly saw my face, first skeptical and then almost bursting into laughter. One of the girls asked me “wait, so you don’t believe in energy?”
I completely misunderstood her question, as I wasn’t very much into their terminology, so I asked rather surprised “what do you mean, like power lines there?” as we were sitting just next to electric poles. She was deadly offended as she felt I was making fun of her, as she used the word “energy” exclusively in the spiritual bullshit meaning.
And yes, then I actually started to make fun of her :)
@m0xee @kravietz @rvps2001 some time ago I've read, that quite a lot of russians buy amulets which protect from mobilization, and pay for predictions who are to be mobilized and who is to die.
Since then I think that instead of trying to convince them that this war is unjust and wrong, we should promote info that powerful Kharkiv witches cursed russian army and government, so they are doomed.
