H/t to @fulelo for highlighting this piece on Russian #disinformation and false #history aimed at #Norway. I note that the Russian #Orthodox Church has acted as an arm of the state in these efforts. It's a #church which should be shunned by other Christian churches #ecumenism

#Art conservation experts are criticising #Russia's government's decision to transfer the famous #Rublev #icon of the #Trinity from a #museum to the #RussianOrthodoxChurch. It's a decision based on #superstition: 'Andrei Kuraev, a dissident cleric who was defrocked by a #church court in April, wrote in a blog post that the icon was being mobilised for “the commander in chief”since “the situation on the front is close to panic”.'

"In our 2019 public threat assessment, we said that in the event of Russian aggression, the Russian Orthodox Church, one of the #Kremlin’s long-standing tools of influence, would not show solidarity with the victim of the attack but would side with the Kremlin. The support of the ROC leadership for Russia’s military activities in #Ukraine clearly demonstrates this in word and deed"

That #Christmas truce proposal by #Russia: it was the leadership of the #RussianOrthodoxChurch doing #Putin's propaganda work, describing the invasion of #Ukraine as an internicine Holy #War. The message to ordinary Ukrainians without heat or power- “We want peace for you,” [Patriarch Kyrill] says on behalf of the attacking Russia, “it is your military who wants you to be shot at.”

Man I hope the GRU and FSB watch this episode.
