Original description:
As soon as Putin began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian Orthodox Church began repeating the theses of Russian propaganda from the first days of the war, trying to justify this war from a religious perspective. In modern Russia, religion has completely merged with the state, and the head of the church - Patriarch Kirill - is part of Putin's elite. Why did the Russian Orthodox Church become like this? What kind of church existed in other epochs of Russian history? Was there a possibility for the church to follow a different path? How does the church participate in the war against Ukraine? All of this and much more in this video.

This is the biggest project I have ever worked on. I spent about a month working on it. I hope you find something insightful in this video.
