Starting July 20 new laws by approved by Putin ban Protestant Christian evangelism and missionary activity in public, online, and even when meeting in homes. Religious activities and missionary conversations are allowed only in recognized church buildings and specific religious sites. Stiff fines will be levied on individuals and organizations who violate the law.

The Russian Orthodox Church (which is approved in Russia) supports Putin on this new law because it sees the evangelical Protestant churches as a proselytizing threat to its own members. Foreign Christian missionaries are limited by bureaucratic paperwork for required registration that keeps them from coming to Russia or returning if they leave.

Maybe the Russian Orthodox Church should experience some American bureaucratic paperwork.

There is an internal war in Russia that no one in the west will report on since it is not politically correct to comment on Christianity as a bona fide cultural tradition. The orthodox vs everyone else war may end up like the huguenot debacle with tens of thousands of protestants disarmed and murdered on order of the king.

Its too bad our government is focused on islamization of north america and not the extreme threat of nuclear annihilation from a coup of Russian Protestant Generals fed up with Hillary and the NATO oligarchs. Russians are extremely paranoid and would rather pull the trigger than wait and see.

I don't think that there is ANY country outside of China and India who have bureaucratic paperwork like the Russians do.
My mother went to Europe...and Moscow way back in 1973. She said it was amazing for its bureaucracy. Never saw anything like it.
