О! No! Not that subject... Wait a second... I am sure that the facts I will tell you here will open your eyes to a lot of things.

To give you a good understanding of who really rules the ball in Russia, I will tell you what happened to such an organization as Jehovah's Witnesses.

I will describe some details of the situation that has developed around Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, so that you more vividly understand the message that I want to convey to you. 

Back in 2017, the Supreme Court of Russia recognized the activities of the “Management Center of Jehovah's Witnesses” as extremist, and ruled that the center and all its branches should be liquidated and banned in Russia. However, still many people, Russian citizens, decided to remain faithful to their religious views and did not abandon them, for which they continued to be subjected by the state to criminal prosecution and imprisonment.

It is clear that among the initiators and active participants of the harassment of believers of this organization are representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church, representatives of anti-cult organizations loyal to them, and directly, their leader Alexander Dvorkin. Moreover, the campaign of persecution against Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia is so harsh that some analysts compare it to repression, and characterize what is happening not just attempts to suppress, but purposeful actions for the complete eradication of this organization from the territory of Russia. 

And what does Putin think about this issue? Some time after the Russian Supreme Court recognized the activities of Jehovah's Witnesses as extremist, these events were commented on by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin himself at a meeting of the Presidential Council on Human Rights. Mr. Putin called the Jehovah's Witnesses' accusations of extremism “complete nonsense” and said that “Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians too” and that he did not really understand “why they should be persecuted.”

Moreover, at the same meeting, Putin said that he does not recommend enrolling “representatives of religious communities” in “some destructive, not even terrorist organizations.” He drew attention to the fact that we need to be much “more liberal toward representatives of various religious sects.” And, mind you, he urged to “deal with it carefully.”

Strangely enough, no one heeded the words of the Russian president himself, the guarantor of the constitution and constitutional rights, and the campaign of persecution against Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia continues actively to this day.

The followers of this organization are still trying to fight for their rights, appealing to international bodies with the hope that they will help defend their constitutional and human rights. Thus, some time ago in 2022 the ECHR (European Court of Human Rights) recognized the persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia as illegal. However, recently, after the adoption of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020, the decisions of international bodies are no longer a priority for implementation in Russia. The new amendments recognize the priority of the Russian Constitution over international legislation and international treaties. But as you already know from the concrete examples I have already given in my articles (and the examples given by the esteemed Egon Cholakian https://earthsavesciencecollaborative.com/), no one there has considered the Constitution of the Russian Federation for a long time, just as, apparently, no one considers the opinion of President Putin.

And after President Putin's statements, many Jehovah's Witness followers had faith that their president would be able to help them. But he could not. They nurtured the hope that, after what the president said, the law enforcement agencies would at least release from prison their brothers in faith who had not committed any crimes, but simply read the Bible. But this did not happen. Despite the president's own statements, the persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses continued as before.

The question arises: why did President Putin's words remain just words? And there are only two answers here. 

The first is that President Putin really wanted to understand what was going on and to help these people, but faced with forces within his country much greater than he was, he could not oppose them, and therefore could not influence the situation in any way. 

In this case, it turns out that President Putin does not have the power in Russia that the people give him. And this in turn means that behind his back there is a third force that is playing him. But what is this force that is playing President Putin himself? Is it the Church or anti-cult organizations that seek to make Orthodoxy the titular religion almost all over the world? Or is it the third force behind them all? The force that brought Putin to power. 

If this is not the case, then the second option remains - to recognize that during his statements President Putin simply lied to his people, who elected him. This means that President Putin's words are at odds with his true intentions and actions and carry no weight.

The last and most important question remains: Mr. Putin, who has the real power in Russia? Are you in the game, or are you being played?
