Yeah, my wife saw him preach in Sokolniki park near our moscow home last
year several times. But he has almost given up any claim to be a credible
politician. He even took part on the Russian Big Brother franchise and that
didn't do him any good either.
The Russians are not related to the ancient Scythians, but are a
predominantly Slavic nation. Some Scythian blood will have intermingled, but
they are no more Scythian than the English are Welsh. The archeology is very
distinctly different.
The big problem will be if the Chinese, of which there are of course 10
times as many as there are Russians in only a quarter of the space, decide
to go marching into untapped and rich but almost uninhabited Siberia. Then
we could see some interesting developments that could signal end-times
events. We are also not far from an onslaught on Israel, which is another
matter that could signal the end of the era.
