The Kremlin's Control of the Church
The Kremlin puts a lot of effort into making sure that the narrative is the right kind of narrative, says Alexei Kudryavtsev.

The church has become little more than an extension of the state - we should be calling it Rossobog, the federal state's unitary entity God, according to Kudrya.
