Ever been curious about why certain events went down the way they did? Who had a stake in the game? And what unfolded afterward? Well, tune in and get ready to uncover the truth!

In Ukraine, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate still operates, despite claiming its supposed independence from Moscow. The Russian Orthodox Church has become a significant instrument through which the idea of violence and aggression is disseminated to the masses. Today, we discuss the Russian Orthodox Church, which, with each passing year, increasingly resembles either a totalitarian sect, a well-organized business, or a government department where there is no room for spirituality. 00:00 - Intro 01:28 - The history of Orthodox Church 13:21 - The state control of religion 22:10 - The modern state of religious business 29:51 - Outro
