Question by kate: Are Pm Putin and Russian president Medvedev baptized?
I meant to ask if they were Крещённые. Just saw them at Cathedral with Chrismtas ceremony. Both crossed themselves
they must have become religious ( are they?) after the USSR collapse.
Knowing Mr Putin ex job with KGB, it is hardly believable.

I think that we cannot condemn somebody when he came to the church because all are equal before God. So if you find answers in your most important questions it Orthodox church you`ll never condemn anybody for the same thing. As you know we have a rising religious life in Russia, more many adult people baptizing now and more churches open so if look to the position of our government they act as Orthodox I hope.
Of course we have a Multi religion State in Russia so Muslims build their mosques too in that places were are they live so I thing it is not good we live together always and it was never religious war Between Orthodox and Muslims in Russia
