Hahaha! I'm an American and moved to Russia just before the pandemic. People do call each other "comrade" sometimes but it really means just that, it doesn't have the connotation it does in America. It certainly doesn't evoke images of Stalin for people or anything like that.
A priest friend of mine in the US was doing 360° panoramas of churches and other sites in the US. He has done a couple in Texas, one a monastery founded by another Athonite monk rather similar to St. Paisios ( http://orthodox360.com/tours/holyarchangels/ ) and another one a parish church ( http://orthodox360.com/tours/stseraphim-dallas/ ). As a Russian Orthodox I'd go to a church like this one if I could, but its website is old school. https://www.orthodox.net/
This is someone's phone video of a service held at the church at the Holy Sepulchre (Christ's tomb). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0n3paZnaJc
I should've clarified--I meant in these United States, specifically Texas.
But I do thank you for the video, Russian friend.
...I almost called you "comrade." Do you still call each other that, or was that just a Soviet thing? Because I do like how it sounds, admittedly.
