Why is Russia so rapidly becoming Christian?

The Russian Orthodox Church has been weaponized by the post-Yeltsin Russian governments. As they did during Communist times; ratting to the Kremlin about Catholic Churches so the priest and nuns could be killed.

Communism is over. They can be Christian again.

I'm russian.

It's all smoke and mirrors. Very little people truly believe in almighty God in Russia, most of them believe in things like "Don't go under the ladder or you will be cursed".
A lot of people protest against this "3 churches a week" becaues ruissian "church" is totally corrupted and is actually A CORPORATION. Complete anti-christianity

What "KGB"? KGB is not even exist anymore. Jesus you Westerners are always so delusional.

Russias muslim population was always around 6%. It has actually declined a bit the last years

This, Sergianism is real. Russia is shit.

Are people actually going to the churches?

it's a propaganda device, that's all

most Russians are degenerate, AIDS-stricken, promiscuous alcoholics who don't care about Christian values. It's just an identity thing and insult to true Orthodoxy

fpbp
also Putin is Christian

>50 years ago the church there was non-existent
False. 50 years ago was 1970, the church was reinstated during WW2.
