How Russia Became the Leader of the Global Christian Right
For POLITICO Magazine, Casey Michel reports on Russia’s growing Christian extremism. Michel writes, “Not only have Russian banks funded groups like France’s National Front, but Moscow has hosted international conferences on everything from neo-Nazi networking to domestic secessionists attempting to rupture the U.S.” He further notes that the World Congress of Families, a socially conservative American organization with strong ties to Russia, has been a source of inspiration for far-right Russian lawmakers.
