@moffintosh That was an impulsive shitpost, but he did support much more care for the poor than his contemporaries IIRC.

Why did he accompany that with a Renaissance-era painting by an Italian artist, not with a photo of recently erected temple of war near Moscow with frescoes of Pooteen? πŸ€”

Section of the mosaic decorating the wall of Temple of The Defense Ministry in Russia depicting Pooteen, former head of Ministry of Defense and other officials.

Oh my, today a man was killed with a lightning strike in the vicinity of this abomination β€”Β two more people injured.
Divine retribution? I'm this close to becoming a believer 😱

Exterior of the Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces. Interior of the Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces. Photo of one of the frescoes inside the Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces. Photo of another one of the frescoes inside the Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces with numerous men holding automatic firearms and angels above them.

@m0xee @moffintosh Really ironic if Stalin is there lol. Didn't he persecute religion?

@Hyolobrika @moffintosh
He did, but he backed down on it in the wake of WW2! There he is depicted on a fresco dedicated to WW2 on flags only β€”Β still controversial, but TBH not as bad as it could be πŸ˜…
To me the depiction of officials, many of whom still occupy their offices, and events from less than a decade ago as historical seems way more controversial, same as the idea of temple of war itself.
They also keep Hitler's hat either in the cathedral itself or in the museum nearby 🀦

@Hyolobrika @moffintosh
My point was that it's not "preserving Chrisitanity" in the slightest, it's obvious they have a religion of their own and it's rather exploiting Christianity.
I know a few people who are Orthodox and who have been there inside that cathedral and did not feel comfortable β€” the atmosphere is gloomy-oppessive.
It's truly perverse how they attempt to incorporate elements of Soviet history, Christian aesthetics (but not essence!) and present that as traditional values.

@m0xee @moffintosh How'd they get Hitler's hat?

@Hyolobrika @moffintosh
No idea, most probably a WW2-era trophy from some museum, why did they put that thing on display in the cathedral β€”Β who the fuck knows? 🀯
From what I know β€” this is perceived as weird even by the most devout "patriots".
