High-ranking Russian Orthodox Church cleric Dmitri Smirnov this week raised eyebrows in Moscow by warning that “… the Ukraine, Belarus and Russia are dying out.
As a Russian nation we have 30 years left; Muslims will reside in the European portion, and the Asia portion will become Chinese … Just as the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople was converted into mosque, so too will the Orthodox Cathedral in Moscow be converted with a giant minaret in place of the Cross…”
Smirnov is the head of the Moscow Church’s Commission on Family Matters.
