    Journalist: Russia’s “patriotic Christ” more like antichrist

    Novaya Gazeta columnist Aleksandr Soldatov, in his article about the persecution of evangelical pastors, notes that the persecution of Christian activists in Russia for their pacifist position has long become systemic.

    At the same time, according to the journalist, “persecution that Christians face in modern Russia is really much worse than the Soviet-atheist one.”

    “Then the emphasis was placed honestly: ‘There is no God – there is a God!’. Now, Christians are being destroyed in the name of the Russian patriotic Christ, whom official propaganda and the Russian Orthodox Church endow with features more reminiscent of the antichrist from the last book of the Bible, the Apocalypse,” said the columnist.

    It should be recalled that the head of the Russian Orthodox Church recognized the split in Russian society and lack of interest in the war.
