I used to work in showbiz, at a studio where we dubbed foreign languages. French, Italian, German, Spanish, etc. in stereo on 2 tracks, but when we did Russian track 2 was left in English because Russians didn’t trust translation. They carefully compared. At the time I thought it funny. Now, not so much. Believe none of what you hear, and half what you see. Be not deceived. Good advice.
It’s a different culture, and Orthodox Christianity is significant and significantly different than Catholicism and especially Protestantism, in its myriad varieties. It’s as close to the original recipe as possible. Care has been taken. Tradition is sacrosanct. This is good.
Putin is Orthodox. He’s sincere about it. This is very good. He works for God. He’s not evil. It’s not about him. Zelenski OTOH, doesn’t seem Christ centric in any way. Nakedly self promoting isn’t as obscene as it once deservedly was. This is not good, but it can’t endure. God wins, as even His enemies acknowledge.
You know what, your comment made my day. When I posted this video, j wasn't sure it was authentic, but here on GAW there's always amazing and unique input provided from the Patriots here, that I knew we would conform it one way or another. I try to keep my credentials clean here by posting items that are worthy of everyone's time, and I'm sorry to those that any time was wasted if this is nothing but a fictional translation.
But everything you mentioned in you comment reminded me of the big picture, and why the video made me so excited with its words. He may of not actually said what was translates here today, but I believe what you said to be true...Putin is good and he's on God's side along with all the rest of us here. God wins, Amen!
I agree. I don't know Russian well enough to have followed what he said, and Dutch is too different from German for me to follow the written translation. The voice over could have been produced by anyone, and to the extent it followed the Dutch subtitle, it struck me as being "off" from Putin's meticulous objective style of expression. I think I will wait and see it elsewhere.

But "none" is still the fastest growing religion worldwide, by a lot. I don't think a lot of those people would acknowledge that.
That's not true.

This also lacks the data of the recent explosion of growth in China which is HUGE.

You know what's not growing? Atheism.
