You will see that Russia is among the 10 lowest countries in church attendance. Until this substantially changes, I will continue to have a pessimistic view of the future of Russia and therefore not think about Russia much as I prefer to think about noble and admirable things which the Bible says that Christians should do as per Philippians 4:8 ("Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.").

Unfortunately, when the topic of Russia is brought up, the top of mind things that come to mind are its high percentage of drunkards in its population, its demographic crisis, its ridiculous war in Ukraine and its low rate of weekly church attendance. And of course, given that Russia has one of the lowest percentages of indoor toilets in the developed world for households that comes to mind also.
