This is from waaaaaaaay back in April of 2013, but I post it as it demonstrates quite explicitly the difference between the West and Russia.
Around this time, the US was making a gigantic ordeal of men who engage in anal sex with other men being allowed in the military.
On a snowy field in the Ryazan region, 100 miles south-east of Moscow, five burly, bearded Russian Orthodox priests fall to the ground, arms held skywards. They’re not praying, but preparing for their next parachute jump.
Soon, the chaplains will take to the skies with regular military cadets in an air force plane, jump and pull the cord – hoping that God is watching over them, and that their parachutes open.
The priests are the latest recruits to the growing army of military chaplains – now almost 1,000 – who serve with Russia’s armed forces, including abroad at bases across the former Soviet Union.
The recruitment of military chaplains has been stepped up in recent months, as President Vladimir Putin has increasingly put traditional Orthodox values at the heart of his administration’s policy since his return to the Kremlin last year. He has also unveiled plans to increase Russia’s defence spending by a total of 11pc a year.
The chaplains’ mission – to boost soldiers’ morale and reinforce a sense of patriotic duty in society – comes as Mr Putin is seeking to build support for a conservative coalition to counter the influence of Western liberals on his critics, including the anti-Kremlin street protesters, foreign-funded NGOs and the Pussy Riot rock group.
On the field with the parachuting priests is Father Mikhail Vasilyev, 41, a veteran chaplain who has served alongside Russian troops in military conflicts in Kosovo, Chechnya and Kyrgyzstan, and is now in charge of the Church’s relations with the parachute forces.
