Putin calls on dead prince for help in Ukraine
Just when it seemed that fortune had turned its back on the Russian military, the Russian Orthodox Church has come up with a new way to boost Vladimir Putin’s morale.
In a surprising turn of events, the Russian Orthodox Church has unearthed what they believe to be the 640-year-old remains of Dmitry Donskoy, a legendary prince from medieval Muscovy. The discovery of these relics inside the Kremlin has brought newfound hope to both the church and President Vladimir Putin.
Putin, who often draws inspiration from historic Russian leaders who expanded territory and secured battlefield victories, has embraced this opportunity to align himself with Dmitry Donskoy, the warrior prince who famously defeated the Mongols in the 14th century and was later canonized. This move comes as a ray of optimism for the Russian military, which had seen a decline in morale following earlier setbacks.
