Yes I meant spiritually because I am an Orthodox Christian and I had thought the church would revive and restore Russia.
But it seems they have once again turned their backs on God and are more interested in greed and power.

I doubt that there is any room for spiritual endeavor in Putin's mind. On the other hand, he can pretend to be one, as he did in front of Solzhenitsyn.

I believe Solzhenitsyn was right when he said Russia has to (spiritually) repent its communist past. That is the true change Russia needs.

“turned their backs on God” Yeah, that sums up communism doesn't it?
Turned their backs on GOD and worshiped the creature instead of the creator..
But it really isn't communism is it?
It is something else. The worship of evil.
