The Spiritual Status of the Russian FederationRomans 13.1)? Or is it akin to that apocalyptic beast of which the Holy Spirit says that its power is from the devil (Revelation 13.2)?
The Russian Orthodox Church was faced with this question shortly after the revolution in relation to the Soviet State, and came up with an unequivocal answer: the Soviet State is cursed by God, and no confessing Orthodox Christian can recognize it. When V.V. Putin came to power in 2000, this attitude intensified as nationalist feelings became mixed up with dogmatic and canonical issues; and in 2007 the Russian Church Abroad threw in the towel and was united with the Moscow Patriarchate, acknowledging the legitimacy of the Russian State.
Now, over twenty-five years since the beginning of perestroikathe essence of communism does not reside in Marxist ideology, but in the demonic spirit that tries to overthrow all God-established authoritiesSo if we are to determine the question whether the Russia of today has really been liberated from Sovietism, we have to ask: has that hellish spirit been exorcised? Is the demon-possessed body of Soviet Russia now at peace?
Spiritual diseases require spiritual treatments. So the spiritual sickness of Soviet Russia could only be cured by the spiritual cure of repentance...the truly Orthodox Church can in no way pray for a state that still remains under the anathema of the Patriarch Tikhon of 1918, which sees itself as the heir of the Soviet Unionfriendship with the world is enmity with God
