I saw this headline from Inside Russia today: - YouTube but you have to fast forward to 1:04:03 mark or an hour into it. Regular Russians are not happy about this. Especially because the Ukraine invasion was based on the idea of protecting Russian family values. (He can explain that wrinkle from a Russian view- but it's basically been framed as the Western decadence, combined with other moral failure in Ukraine, forced Putin to invade).
I didn't quite believe it but here it is from other sources: Russian Islamic Council Approves Polygamy For Muslim Males, Contrary To Legal Code Russia’s Top Islamic Authority Permits Men to Marry Multiple Women - The Moscow Times
the fact that there is no pushback from Russia authorities to enforce Russian law prohibiting polygamy, means that Putin is being forced into yet another concession by the Chechens. He had to kiss a Koran a few months ago, looking decidedly uncomfortable while the leader of the Chechens and the mullahs were beaming.
This is more of the same.
Konstantin also explains that the inflation in Russia is horrific, the Central Bank rate is 23% I think he said. Sanctions, plus war spending are causing a crisis.
And to top it off, last year when Russia forced conscription, taking young men off the streets, the army devoured a lot of the work force and other working age males fled to other nearby countries. Konstantin took his family to Kazakhstan along with a lot of other Russians.
The loss of military aged males to death or continuing army service is impacting every other area in Russia. Konstantin mentions school teachers as just one example.
I wonder about their oil industry, mining, forestry and other sources of income.
At the same time they are asking the women to crank out the babies - increase the birth rate above 1 per couple they are asking women to get back into the work force and fill the shoes of the dead husbands and fathers who went to the front in Ukraine.
Putin is having a hard look at the future of Russia and it's going Islamic. He's being forced to allow Muslim men to marry up to 4 wives each. Those same muslim men who aren't being conscripted, because they are part of Kadyrovs special army of Muslims from Chechnya.
There is a huge shift in demographics right now, and it is NOT favouring the Russian Orthodox "christians" of Russia, the ones it does favour are the Muslims.
Why is this important?
Ezekiel 38
Russia is beginning to feel the economic hardships that a prolonged war in Ukraine bought them. Ez 38 mentions theft as a motive.
Russia is leaning on it's minority Muslim population to keep going- having babies, propping up Putin's rule. Muslims hate Israel and Jews.
Pulling out of Syria comes at a good time for Russia- they need those troops and supplies in Ukraine. Turning north again. It will take a hook in the jaw to turn them back towards Israel.

but sadly his big patron Putin has his back up against the wall and nothing Kirill (or Cyril) can do about that situation so he's best off keeping his lip zipped as Putin's buddies in his past life as a KGB officer still control internal politics in the Russian Orthodox Church. The Patriarch got there with their help and he can be removed just as easily and replaced with someone who says YES SIR to Putin.
