See previous blog entry the Russian as perceiving themselves as engaged in a "holy mission" to save the world from depravity and decadence.
Medvedev speaks!
"Medvedev Says Russia Is Fighting a Sacred Battle Against Satan"
Crazed Nazi drug addicts the forces of darkness must be overcome.
From Reuters Nov. 4, 2022 the tip from www.usnews.com
"(Reuters) - Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Friday cast Russia's war in Ukraine as a sacred conflict with Satan, warning that Moscow could send all its enemies to the eternal fires of Gehenna [Hell]."
"Russia's invasion of Ukraine has killed tens of thousands and triggered the biggest confrontation with the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis when the Cold War superpowers came closest to nuclear war."
"Medvedev, who once cast himself as a liberal modernizer as president from 2008 to 2012, said Moscow was fighting 'crazy Nazi drug addicts' in Ukraine backed by Westerners who he said had 'saliva running down their chins from degeneracy'."
For persons born and raised in an official atheistic nation as was the Soviet Union, Vlad and Dmitry surely have undergone an extraordinary conversion to a belief in a supreme being with their pronounced religiosity.
Go see at the wiki an entry - Moscow as the Third Rome. Imperial Russia their mission the defender of the Christian faith in the Orthodox Tradition.
This declaration of Dmitry also suggests to me a hardening-of-heart on the part of the Russian leadership. There will be no negotiated end to the war, amicable and agreed upon. Very sad.
coolbert.
