Comment: Yet more rose-colored conservative infatuation with all things Russian. Given the truth about the state of things in Putin's Russia, the willful ignorance that allows such a mindset is no longer amusing - it is dangerous. That the Russian Orthodox bishops would collude with such an evil tyrant who kills the people who oppose him speaks volumes about their collective cowardice as a body. That you would extol the virtues of a church led by such a morally bankrupt body speaks volumes about you.  In some circles "Russian" is starting to have the same ring that "Aryan" did a couple of generations ago, and for all the same ugly reasons.
