Russia is a "Christian Nation." Not a style of Christianity I would value.

I remember, years ago, when the Soviet Union was "godless communism." Now, like much of the Middle East, it's more religious. A combination of anti gay style, "traditional" values, lust for power and the wealth of oligarchs. Makes me think of much of the Christian Right in parts of the world; including even here in USA.

I watched an interesting little clip from German documentary television recently.
