Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the renovated Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh at the Tsarskoye Selo museum complex in Pushkin, Monday. Putin was joined by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill along with members of the Orthodox clergy.
Earlier in the day, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov joined Patriarch Kirill as he consecrated the church in celebration of the 700th anniversary of St. Sergius of Radonezh's birth.
The Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh was first consecrated in 1903, but following the Russian Revolution of 1917 the church was closed and its domes removed. It was then returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 2012, resulting in its restoration.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov attended the consecration of the restored Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh at the Tsarskoye Selo museum complex in Pushkin, Leningrad on Monday. Taking a brief break from international affairs, Lavrov was in attendance to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the birth of St. Sergius of Radonezh.
Patriarch Kirill I of Moscow presented the church with various relics of St. Sergius. As Lavrov is the chairman of the Board of Trustees responsible for overseeing the restoration of the church, he was also gifted with a model of the spiritual leader.
The Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh was first consecrated in 1903, but following the Russian Revolution of 1917 the church was closed and its domes removed. It was then returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 2012, resulting in its restoration.

Russia: FM Lavrov praises Russian Orthodox Church's response to Ukraine conflict
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov praised the Russian Orthodox Church's attitude towards the conflict in eastern Ukraine at a reception dedicated to the Orthodox Easter in Moscow, Friday.
SOT, Sergei Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister (Russian): The world has come to a dangerous boundary characterised with the concurrence in differing variants, with an increasing level of conflicts and storing of the elements of chaos and instability in international relations. Attempts to obtain one-way advantages and the domination in world proceedings remain as serious complications, as also the attempts to prove the pretensions for their own uniqueness despite the necessity to form up the system of equal security based on the legitimate interests of all states. Malignancy of such course revealed itself in the tragic events in Ukraine. Calls from the Russian Orthodox Church for reasonableness deserve acceptance as the tireless efforts to establish the peace in Ukraine and the efforts to stop the fratricidal war within it. We believe that the Ukrainian people will have enough wisdom and foresight to recover their national unity, reject the attempts to move the country to extreme nationalism and xenophobia, because as history reveals, following this way also ends with catastrophe.

Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church
On June 9, Dr. Paul Coyer, a Forbes foreign policy columnist, delivered an Intermarium Series lecture at The Institute of World Politics entitled Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church. The lecture, which was sponsored by IWP's Kościuszko Chair of Polish Studies, focused on a recent article by the speaker, entitled (Un)Holy Alliance: Vladimir Putin, The Russian Orthodox Church and Russian Exceptionalism.
Dr. Coyer began by noting that it can be easy to sympathize with the Russian Orthodox Church, which claims to preserve tradition and uphold moral values. He then described the complexities and various dimensions of the Church's involvement with the Russian state.
Orthodoxy is not viewed by Russians in the same way that religion is widely viewed in the West. For example, Dr. Coyer noted, 30 percent of respondents in Russia who self-identified as Orthodox simultaneously also identified as atheists. Dr. Coyer explained that Orthodoxy in post-Soviet Russia is a matter of culture and identity, not necessarily the belief in a Supreme Being.
In addition, the speaker described Vladimir Putin's attempts to increase the strength of the Russian Orthodox Church, with over 20,000 churches being built from 2000 onwards. He argued that this resurgence in the Church's strength added to Russian exceptionalism and nationalism. Russia has an advantage in its citizens' mindsets, in that they are more fiercely dedicated to their homeland. By contrast, a 2015 Pew Research Center poll found that Europeans overwhelmingly would not be willing to fight for their countries.
Dr. Coyer maintained that, even without Putin, the conflict between Russia and the West will not fade away. One of the reasons is that culture, including that of Russian Orthodoxy, is at stake. He asserted that a serious confrontation of the West with Russia is increasingly likely.
Dr. Coyer covers international affairs, with a focus on Eurasia, in his Forbes column. He has spent time in academia, having graduate degrees from Yale University and the London School of Economics. His PhD, from the LSE, was on Sino-American relations and diplomatic history. From 2007-2013, he was a visiting scholar at the Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies at the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and he served as a visiting lecturer on Chinese foreign policy and Sino-American relations at the University of Florence, Italy, in 2011 and 2012. He has lived and worked in several locations around the world, including Shanghai, where he did macro-economic research on China's development and edited a book on the Shanghai stock exchange that was jointly published by JPMorgan and the South China Morning Post, and in Hong Kong, where he did a brief stint in banking for Deutsche Bank.

Russian president Vladimir Putin ruffled when priest attempts to kiss him.
Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, visits a 14th century monastery on Russia's northern Valaam Island, but appears ruffled when a Russian Orthodox priest tries to kiss his hand. Putin, who has projected a tough guy image, has enjoyed the support of Russian Orthodox Church and its leader Patriarch Kirill, also a key figure in the controversial Pussy Riot trial.
Поездка президента Владимира Путина в Карелию обернулась казусом. В Спасо-Преображенском Валаамском монастыре, куда глава государства накануне прибыл, чтобы провести заседание Попечительского совета Русского географического общества, его встретили очень тепло и радушно. И по мнению блогеров, даже слишком.
Дело в том, что один из священнослужителей - иеромонах Мефодий - приветствуя президента, поцеловал его руку. Путин резко одернул ее и даже погрозил батюшке кулаком. Эпизод длился всего считанные секунды, но уже несколько часов является одной из самых обсуждаемых тем в рунете. Пользователи негативно оценивают гостеприимство иеромонаха и сравнивают президента с Царем. Однако в окружении священника говорят: дело не в политике - иеромонах Мефодий - дословно по-гречески темпераментный македонец, он хранит ряд балканских традиций и мог бы поцеловать руку не только Путину.
65,000 gather to defend Orthodox faith
65,000 gather in Moscow 'to pray for Church & defend faith'
]Full prayer service at web address below]:
Tens of thousands of Orthodox Christians have joined a service outside Moscow's main church, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, in defense of their faith, sacred objects and the Church itself, following recent numerous attacks on Christian relics.
The Sunday service has gathered around 65 thousand worshippers, according to official police data. It comes in response to what the church says is a series disrespectful acts against Orthodoxy and religious faith over the past few months.
Sacred Orthodox objects attacked this spring were specially brought to the Cathedral for one day.
Among the relics is a 3.5-metre-tall crucifix cut by an attacker in the cathedral of the city of Nevinnomyssk in Russia's south. There are also five of the 30 icons cut with an ax in the town of Veliky Ustyug in March. And the Virgin Mary icon, shot with bullets in the early 1920s, was also brought from the same city.
Worshippers also denounce other cases of vandalism -- in March, the Cathedral of St. Sergius of Radonezh in the city of Mozyr was desecrated with blasphemous inscriptions and sacrilege against the representationof the cross. In April, offenders poured gasoline and set fire to the entrance door to the Cathedral of Demetrius of Thessalonica in Krasnodar. In the Rostov Region, on the eve of Easter, vandals smeared black paint on the walls of a chapel built in memory of those who died in the wars in Afghanistan and Chechnya, as well as the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster.
In February, the activists of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot broke into Moscow's main cathedral and sang blasphemous songs at the altar.
Earlier on Sunday, Patriarch Kirill led a liturgy service and then the worshippers went around the Cathedral in a religious procession. Similar services are being held in other Russian regional centers.
On Saturday, Moscow drivers and bikers had their say in support of the Church. They held a rally denouncing the recent attacks on cathedrals, as well as media criticism of the Patriarch.
22 апреля 2012 года, в неделю 2-ю по Пасхе, апостола Фомы, после Божественной литургии в Храме Христа Спасителя на северной паперти кафедрального собора было совершено молебное пение в защиту веры, поруганных святынь, Церкви и ее доброго имени.

Tremendous blow if Putin loses Ukrainian Orthodox Church MP
Remarks by Dr. Taras Kuzio, Senior Research Associate, Canadian Institute for Ukrainian Studies, University of Toronto, Canada, 6 February 2015.
- Sometimes solutions to difficult problems can be very simple
- Proposal to the Ukrainian government: Demand a reregistration of religious parishes, churches in Ukraine. To the Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Moscow Patriarchate (Українська православна церква Московського патріархату, УПЦ МП) should be reregistered as the Russian Orthodox Church (Русская Православная Церковь, Російська православна церква) because it is a fake Ukrainian church
- Opinion polls show more people support the Kyiv Patriarchate opposed to the Moscow Patriarchate. It will loose members, clergy. Tremendous national security improvement in Ukraine
- There are more Orthodox parishes collectively in Ukraine than Russia. Should Russia lose the Ukrainian Church it would be a tremendous blow to Putin and to the Russian church.
- Patriarch Filaret should step down, lots of baggage
Thank you to St. Vladimir Institute (Lidia Smilka) at the University of Toronto for the recording venue
