Russia experimented on itself for several hundred years. It always wanted to become something great: the leader of the Orthodox-Christian world or the Communist world. At the same time, it cannot become this, like the underground man in Dostoevsky's novel. The underground man only sticks out his tongue, teases, and tries to sabotage – but is incapable of offering anything himself. In practice, Putin embodies that "underground man": He is incapable of suggesting anything to the world but rather only annoys it and tries to pinch it.

If you are innocent, you are not one of us. If you sin and I sin – we all sin before God, and He can pardon us. So let us all sin because our sin is the expression of our trust in the forgiving and merciful God. Law is a dead letter."
