| − | Thanks for sharing. It started well, and I was all for it to begin with, seeing the religious lyrics and agreeing with it, about prayer etc. Then, it devolved into debatable/questionable politics. And there I disagree. Thanks for sharing nonetheless, because it helped me better understand the perspective of some Russians who support Putin. They should ask themselves, though, why that Anti-Christian Communist Soviet Flag was displayed in the video. Atheistic Communists under Stalin, who hated Christians, killed some 20 MN Christians, including 100,000 Clergy. They should not celebrate Communism, or the Soviet Union, or Commie Thug Jo Stalin, but condemn him as an Anti-Christ Christophobic bigot and mass-murderer. Some good things have happened in Russia since Communism officially fell, but there is still too much infatuation with Communist leaders like Stalin, and the Soviet period, and thus a lack of real in-depth understanding as to what went wrong. NATO is not Russia's Enemy. Russia has been invited to join NATO by some NATO countries provided Russia becomes democratic and peaceful. I dream of a truly post-Communist Christian Russia that returns, like Europe should return completely to, to its traditional Christian roots. | + | Thanks for sharing.
