I’d have to agree, though I doubt Putin is Orthodox-anything.

He may be phony as any political type, but under Putin in Russia you can :

1. Pray in school
2. Reinstall the religious images where they were removed.
3. Churches are being built by the boat load
4. etc.

While non orthodox branches of the faith are having some headwinds, Christianity is resurging in a land that in my lifetime was still repressing all forms.
