I’m excited to announce a new feature-length documentary project I’m working on with my co-director @apoolos about Russia’s efforts to eradicate Evangelical Christians from the map of Ukraine to impose Russian Orthodoxy as the state religion. Please support this film by donating

This is bonkers. In Russia, a driver from a popular ride share app warns passengers not to provoke him in case he becomes aggressive because he was concussed in the war in Ukraine. Would you stay in the car after reading this?.

Russia's fastest growing group is Muslims, Orthodox Christianity is at a 20 year low, only one percent of Russians even attended Christmas mass (compared to 50 percent in the United States), yet many Americans are falling for the fiction that Russia is a Christian super power.
