EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis): This is probably the 4th time in the last two months that Vladimir Putin raised the issue of prosecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. I have been warning all of you, particularly the Constantinople Patriarchate, that after their huge mistakes in granting “Cacocephaly” to Ukraine, the time of punishment is here. They have ignored all the warnings for years.. Not simply by me – although I was among the first to do so… But from experienced diplomats of Greece who issued warnings to Bartholomew IN WRITING. Acting like a stubborn mule from his home island of Imvros, he ignored all these warnings. He caused the schism in Orthodoxy, which caused significant damage to Greece and Hellenism. Orthodoxy is one of the four Ecumenical foundations of Hellenism (the other three are Navigation, Diaspora, and Cultural Heritage).
Now, the time of punishment is nearing. No matter what exactly the final “peace deal” would be, one thing is for sure: Russia will insist on the protection of UOC, and this simply means that Epiphanios and his minions are out, one way or the other. And Bartholomew’s (and Emmanuel’s) plans to “annex” the Ukrainian Orthodox faithful and “milk” them have failed and caused enormous damage.
As for the “Ethnic Jews” who caused it, please read the news report below… He means secular Jews like Zelensky, the comedian who played piano with his penis….

Vladimir Putin Accuses ‘Ethnic Jews’ of Tearing Apart the Russian Orthodox Church
By Ben Sales
Vladimir Putin accused Jews of attacking the Russian Orthodox Church and suggested that they lacked family and “roots,” the latest antisemitic statement from the Russian leader since his 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Putin made the allegation during his lengthy annual press conference ahead of the New Year, which lasted four hours on Thursday. In the middle of of the event, Putin addressed punitive actions against the Russian Orthodox Church elsewhere in Europe. The church is considered to be closely tied to Putin’s regime, and its leaders have been expelled from countries such as Bulgaria and Estonia.
Putin said the church was “being tortured” — and blamed Jews.
“They’re tearing the church apart but they’re not even atheists,” Putin said. “These are people without any beliefs, godless people, they’re ethnic Jews, but has anyone seen them in a synagogue? I don’t think so.”
After adding that the alleged opponents of the church were also neither Orthodox Christian nor Muslim, he added, “These are people without kin or memory, with no roots. They don’t cherish what we cherish and the majority of the Ukrainian people cherish as well.”
Critics of Putin decried the statement as antisemitic, noting parallels to Soviet state antisemitism under Josef Stalin, when the Kremlin persecuted Jews and accused them of being “rootless cosmopolitans.”
Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, the former chief rabbi of Moscow who left Russia after refusing to support the invasion of Ukraine, tweeted that Putin was “reviving Soviet-era tropes like ‘rootless cosmopolitans,’” and referenced the “Doctors’ Plot,” another of Stalin’s antisemitic campaigns.
“This echoes the Stalinist antisemitic rhetoric of the “Doctors’ Plot” (1948-53),” he wrote. “History teaches us: hate must be challenged. We call on European leaders to condemn these statements!”
Putin and his deputies have employed antisemitic rhetoric in their arguments for their invasion of Ukraine. Although Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is Jewish, Putin has claimed that Ukraine is led by a “neo-Nazi regime.”
In the press conference, Putin also blamed the ouster of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad on Iran. Assad was an ally of Russia and is now living in exile there. Putin said he planned to meet with Assad but had not yet. He also said he was open to meeting with President-elect Donald Trump.
He (V.V. Putin) was pointing to Zekinsky and ilk and rightly separated them from traditional Jews. Zelinsky and cohorts are “ethnic Jews”, he said; in other words, nominal Jews by ethnicity only but not by practice and not in essence: When was the last time you saw Zeninsky or ilk go to synagogue, he asked? Never or rarely, is the obvious answer. So, they are individuals without roots. He is right about Zekinsky, without casting aspersions againt Jews in general.
He (V.V. Putin) was not referring to Jews in general; so, it is a tragic state of affairs in the USA when the publication “WashingtonJewishWeek com” cries “anti-Semetism” because Zekinsky’s duplicity has been exposed and when the publication entirely ignores the violent persecution of Orthodox Christians that is occuring under Zekinsky’s regime.
Right you are, Sam!
Call them secular Jews, call them Khazarians or whatever. They have nothing to do with practicing Hebrews. Putin is spot on.
And Neither are the Evangelical Protestant Zionist who run America have nothing to do with practicing Christians of the Orthodox, Catholic , and Presbyterian Christians faith… who have not remained silent to both the Ethnic Jewish “Zionist”regimes of the Ukraine and Israel war crimes and genocide of humanity and oppression of human and religious rights and freedoms ……look it up Helleniscope! Additionally , Putin also called out the “Collective West religious order
“In fact, there is only one stable rule: no rules for those who make the rules, for those who consider themselves to be at the head of the whole world, those who consider themselves to be representatives of God on Earth, although they themselves do not believe in God,” Putin said.
Helleniscope …who do you think Putin was refering to as “the self proclaimed head of the World “.. the self proclaimed Jewish and Protestant Christian Zionist ruling political parties of America and the dominant Protestant Churches of America! And yes .. they clearly do not believe in God..and do believe they are the chosen people incapable of Sin!
