Orthodox Russia?

There, Muslims are prohibited from building a mosque, and this process is dressed up in the most unattractive garb of chauvinism, nationalism, arrogance, and bureaucracy.

It got to the point where Kadyrov's thugs recorded a video in which they do not mince their words. “We want the authorities to react and bring appropriate articles and sentences against these people (protesters who interfere with the construction of the prayer building - ed.). If you have gone against the will of Almighty, we will fight with you, we don't care who we fight with,” the Chechen bandits said from their positions on the Ukrainian front.

Everything about this threat is beautiful: the appeal to Russia's punitive authorities, and, oddly enough, the invocation of the will of Almighty (yes, this is exactly what Kirill's faithful are saying!), and most importantly: “We don't care who we fight with.”

The last line is the essence of mercenarism, which the Kremlin is actively using, having finally realized the complete inability of official military formations to break the Ukrainian resistance. The threat of the Kadyrov soldiers' is also one of the many 'black swans' that have been graciously nesting in the Kremlin's vicinity in the spring. Let us recall, for example, the dissatisfaction of Putin's 'chef,' the owner of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, with the way the Russian General Staff and the Defense Ministry treat his 'wild geese,' recruited mostly from countless Russian prisons to become 'minced meat' under Ukrainian fire in Bakhmut. Let's recall the 'club of angry patriots' of Girkin/Strelkov, who recently issued a 'fiery' manifesto, blasting the Kremlin's 'strategists' for military failures.

In the end, everyone understands that these, so to speak, 'signals' are just a dull echo of tectonic processes that will soon erupt into a “meaningless and merciless revolt.” A rebellion in which there will be no place for the outwardly 'civilized,' 'liberal opposition,' which in Russia has always been opportunistic, mercantile and imperial – in fact, a reflection of the dictatorship, only with a democratic grimace on a well-groomed face.

And in vain does the hysterical Medvedev call for curses and punishments of the ‘non-systemic opposition.’ In vain does he call for 'no negotiations with terrorists' and ‘extermination of them like mad dogs with poisonous saliva flowing from their mouths. No need for unnecessary pompous words. As soon as the opportunity arises. Even if it sometimes takes years. They are not subject to forgiveness and compassion. This is the highest justice.’ Note that the deputy head of the Russian Security Council spoke of some 'supreme justice' in relation to the 'oppositionists' who allegedly organized the explosion in a St. Petersburg cafe, where another bandit from the 'Orthodox gang,' Vladlen Tatarsky, died. And in the fall, when a car carrying the daughter of 'Orthodox Eurasian guru' Alexander Dugin, Daria, blew up near Moscow, the same slurs were made against 'Kyiv Nazism.'

In fact, the upcoming revolt, which may have religious overtones, was provoked by Putin himself and his inept generals, who systematically and persistently prepared the war in Ukraine, wrapping its bloody and genocidal essence in bright wrappers of 'greatness of the Russian world,' 'historical justice,' and 'Orthodox victory.' Moreover, this war a priori envisaged not only the 'final solution of the Ukrainian issue' but also the extermination of all kinds of 'non-Russians' – Chechens, odious 'fighting Buryats,' and other representatives of the country of '100 peoples,' among whom, of course, the dominant one is 'Russian.' The 'internal genocide' of the non-Orthodox in the federation is evidenced at least by the recent reaction from Mongolia, whose former president Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj called the mobilization of Buryats, Tuvans, and Kalmyks “ethnic cleansing, a war crime.” According to him, in some towns in the regions of compact residence of these peoples, there are no men left…

And Kadyrov himself, having supported his 'mujahideen' bandits demanding a mosque in Moscow, has casually admitted that 'foreigners' are being used as expendable material in the war against Ukraine. “Take an assault rifle, push aside the Muslim who is fighting in the 'Russian' Donbas instead of you today, and show your patriotism,” he appealed to his 'Russian brother'.

The Kremlin's 'sowers of chaos' (Medvedev likes to use this word for the West) will reap the storm. And it, encouraged by Ukrainian efforts, will sweep away the dilapidated prison of nations, replacing it with independent states of peoples who have been oppressed for centuries.
