At the same time, the security guard is observed from another room for what is happening. For the first time since 23 years ago, Putin has headed the Russian Federation, he chose to visit the Christmas service, the Annunciation Cathedral, which is located behind the Kremlin wall, and it is believed that it is fully guarded. In recent years, he visited the Christmas service with other believers. But in 2023 he was one.
It is believed that Putin is afraid of attempts through the war in Ukraine and therefore violated the established tradition of visiting the Orthodox cathedrals outside the Russian capital. Putin in a blue jacket and a white sweater was in a cathedral, in which Russian kings traditionally professed their sins. In recent years, Putin was among other believers in the Church of Simeon and Anna, as well as at the Transfiguration Cathedral of St. Petersburg.
He last met Orthodox Christmas in Moscow more than 20 years ago, in 2001. It should be reminded that Putin recognized all the occupied territories in part of Ukraine by his decree. This was reported in a document addressed to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and in which the Kremlin head ordered the installation of "Christmas truce". Earlier, Focus reported when Russian diplomats at the UN meeting cynically ridiculed Ukraine's proposal for a truce in April 2022 on Easter holiday.
