[[Orthodox Christianity]] is the predominant religion in [[Russia]], and it's not uncommon for soldiers to recite Orthodox prayers or mantras before engaging in combat.
A frequently used Orthodox prayer among Russian soldiers is the "Prayer of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker." This prayer, known for its association with safeguarding and protection, seeks the intercession of St. Nicholas, who is revered as a patron saint of soldiers.
Additionally, Russian soldiers might also use the "Jesus Prayer." This concise prayer calls for [[Jesus Christ]]'s [[mercy]] and [[forgiveness]] and can be continuously repeated as a meditative or focusing practice prior to battle.<ref>[https://x.com/DD_Geopolitics/status/1737709712786051314 Russian soldiers praying before battle.] Только с Богом жизнь будет идти в мире и согласии.
