An awareness of the deeply religious dimension of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is totally missing in the Western media’s otherwise impressive, and often brave, coverage of this ongoing tragedy, which is incomprehensible in reductively political/secular terms.
This is a panel discussion, recently hosted by Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University, on ‘Religion, Russia, Ukraine.’ One of the panelists, theology professor Brandon Gallaher, describes Putin’s investment in the essentially fascist movement known as Russkiy mir/The Russian Worldview.
There is always light in the midst of darkness.
Be well.
