COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS: RUSSIA PROTECTS AND WILL PROTECT CHRISTIANS AND COMBAT CHRISTIANOPHOBIA
Pravoslavie.ru – August 2016
Russia protects and will protect Christians and combat Christianophobia in all international arenas, including the UN. Commissioner for Human Rights of the Russian Foreign Ministry Constantine Dolgov gave this assurance today, reports Tsargrad.tv.
According to him, Russia is counting on support from dozens of countries, and not only those with a predominantly Christian population.
Specifying the “categorical impermissibility” of double standards in this question, Dolgov spoke on the need to “decisively thwart” the oppression and genocide of Christians. He called these shameful phenomena a powerful and lasting destabilizing factor in the world.

Oh sure. Maybe their government can stop doing everything it does to incite so much Russophobia.
This most certainly does not extend to Evangelical Protestant Christians in Russia who, because of a recent law, are now unable even to mention their faith to anyone. The only form of Christianity legally accepted in Russia is that peddled by the Moscow Patriarchate and one or two other groups fully signed up to Putin’s system of control. So Russia disregards the most basic human right of freedom of religion.
