Patriarch Kirill spoke out in favor of the death penalty in Russia: what really scares Putin Melania Golembyovskaya

Patriarch Kirill Gundyaev has proposed to return the death penalty to Russia, since Jesus Christ “did not condemn it.” Such words could make Vladimir Putin “strain” a little.

The Russian dictator is afraid that such a law could turn against him, although he could be killed without it. This opinion was shared with 24 Kanal by the host of the Khodorkovsky Live channel, Sergei Aslanyan, who noted that in Russia, priests have always blessed their soldiers for war in order to kill.

What scares Putin

According to the host, Putin suspects that such an “innovation” could turn against him, which is why the death penalty is banned in the country. Although, if he is ever killed, no law will be needed for this. He is wrong to think that this can only happen as a result of some court decision.

That is why the rules for applying such a law to Putin are unlikely. However, given that this must be a collegial decision, everyone is worried that this death penalty will turn against them, Aslanyan noted.

Gundyaev is not a person who has any relation to religion. The host noted that he is not a patriarch, but a “Minister of Orthodoxy” with all the privileges, including security and rations.

In addition, in war there is such a thing as a “regimental priest”. Throughout the history of the aggressor country, the Russian soldier went into battle blessed by such a priest and told “go and kill.” In addition, Russian priests have always blessed Russians to go kill people of other faiths, that is, “enemies” of the Orthodox.

Therefore, Gundyaev, saying that murder is legitimate in the life of a Christian, is simply voicing what has long been used, the host noted.

By the way, Kirill also stated that “the church has never insisted on the abolition of the death penalty.” At the same time, he added that he “welcomes the moratorium on executions currently in effect in Russia.”
