I showed you a document.
If you wish I can tell you how to find this document in Russian Church Archives.

About those first five years.
Do you have any idea that there was a CIVIL WAR in Russia?
Church supported the Whites - i.e. bloody enemies of the Reds.
Reaction from the Reds was predictable and effective.
The friend of my enemy is my enemy. Period.

After the Civil war Stalin stopped that.
During the Great Patriotic War the Russian Orthodox Church was
a very strong supporter of the Soviet people and the Soviet Army.

The Church even bought a unit of tanks - the first T-34-85 brand.
That tank unit was called Dmitriy Donskoy.

And some priests would fight with guns in their hands - preaching by action.

But he's too much fun to ignore DT. He's like a mean spirited Russian version of Ernest P. Worrell.

So Stalin is suddenly a friendly and Godfearing Chap? Oh please. He probably killed more people than Hitler.

At this rate he'd give Anadin a bad head :lol:

Indeed. :yep: It's great that we now have the Soviet Minister for Propoganda and Revisionist history in the GT at Subsim. :rock:

Hello, Antichrist and welcome to the club of unholiness

<--- German living in the USA

Thank you. :D

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I loved Jim Varney's humor (God rest his soul). Don't think I can say the same for Bruno, though.:arrgh!:

Ain't that the truth:D

Hey come on, you guys talk politics and I'm the only one posting vaguely chauvinistic pics of Russian women with a military theme? :)

Beauty contest in Russian military.

In history of the Great Patriotic War?
or you mean present time situation?

I don't answer grand- or grand-grand children of those idiots
who came to Russia with 'Gott mit Uns' on their belts.
Their Gott was Anti-Crist for Russian Orthodox flock.

My grandmother came from Germany. I hope that makes me only a little evil.:sunny:

Bruno, I think part of the problem is that you see everyone as attacking Russia for no reason, when in fact there is good reason to criticize any country. On the other hand, others come to see you as defending certain crimes and acting as if they never happened. The Soviet Regime under Stalin was arguably as bad as the Nazi regime under Hitler. Stalin killed a lot of his own people. That said, Russia, like a lot of countries, is struggling to find itself and its place in the world, and to live down the past. Kind of like Germany. Kind of like Britain. Kind of like America.

Recognizing that there has been evil done doesn't make us evil now; it just makes us wary of allowing it to happen again. None of the guys you're arguing with actually hate Russia (well, one or two of them might; I'm not sure). Relax, stop trying to prove that nobody there ever did anything bad, because a lot of bad people in Russia did a lot of bad things.

And a lot of good people in Russia did a lot of good things. Just like people everywhere.

Thank you for the pics.
You've got this thread right!

I also have some of nice pics at the meeting on Alba River.:D
Or Russian guys in uniform and beautiful Austrian girls are waltzing (Strauss waltz) in Vienna in April-May 1945? Quite a crowd on the main square. :D

Did she have problems with the SMERSH guys?
How many times was your grandmother raped? Honestly.

So the Ortodox church beliefs in a different god than the rest of the world? I see. Very modern thinking there.

Um, my grandomther came here in 1915; so if she was raped it would have been by the Kaiser's boys. And none that I know of, unless there's something my grandfather never confessed.
:rotfl:
