Russian monuments

Even if these temples converted all Russians to Hindu... they are still Russians.

To become Hindu does not change you into an Indian... or any other ethnic group.

Hindooism is NOT a part of Russian culture so if they convert into Hindoos only their outside appearance will remain Russian but will be a third world hindoo from the inside as their mindset would have been totally polluted by hindoo rituals.

I don't believe the majorioty of Russian are all racialist, Nor became a Hindu means spiritually polluted. Yes, as all other nation, Russia will always belongs to all Russian, not foreigners, But at the age of globalization, almost all countries have a lot of foreigners, How to treat them marked what level of civilization the state has.

I'd rather have some Indian philosophies spread than that of the Orthodox church.
But thats just me.

Most religions rely on tradition and beliefs that are more than a couple of centuries old. If you think such backward ideas like those in christian and Hindu and other religions would hold Russia back then you have my sympathy.

Honour, respect, tolerance, these are not new concepts... though they are rarely practised properly.

I am an athiest myself, but if others want to follow one religion or another then I have no problem with that.

I think you're in for a major disappointment. It seems to me that Russia is steadily going back to it's pre Comunist traditions which is how it should be. If you want pagan philosophies than you have the native rodoverje....which BTW, has heavily influenced Slavic Orthodoxy. If you compare for example Greek Orthodoxy with Russian one you can notice noticeable differences in rituals and traditions....Слава России

You are exactly right, I am majorly disappointed since religion in all forms (Christianity and Islam) has come back in force across Russia, and is causing new issues.

Both religions preach quite sensible values (Sharia law aside, but it was good for its time)

I find myself often encouraging religion in people if anything - if everyone lived their life according to the values laid out in them then we would have have a utopia on Earth.

But I encourage them to stay independent-minded and think for themselves too - for the trouble is not in the religions themselves, but in the mindsets of some of the people that follow them, or how religion is used and manipulated in order to control people, or the power commanded by religious heirarchies/clergies, etc...

It's not just a question of personal belief which can be a complicated matter depending on how you interpret religion. It's part of national and cultural identity. Without it you will have the situation of the 1990's again. Personally I'm not much a believer in the classical sense but still consider myself an Orthodox Christian at least nominally.

Well they can leave no man without strong impressions

Don't waste your time replying to NickM though about these things; he's got this obsession going on with Indians and Chinese or something - the man can't see reason.

Putin says Russian city Volgograd may become Stalingrad again

Russian President Vladimir Putin does not rule out the possibility of returning the name of Stalingrad to the Russian city of Volgograd located on the Volga River Stalingrad was the epicenter of the most grandiose battle of World War II and was almost completely destroyed by the unparalleled intensity of fighting between Soviet and Nazi troops.

Answering a question of a WWII veteran, Putin said that "in line with our legislation the issue can be settled by the regional and municipal authorities."
"In this case residents should hold a referendum where they will decide on it (the change of the name)," Putin said.
"We’ll do as the residents say," the president said, TASS reports.
He recalled that in Paris there is a square named Stalingrad and other cities in Europe keep this name in memory.
"It wasn’t me who changed the name," Putin said as a joke adding seriously that "we’ll mull over how it can be done" [the referendum].

Russia to spend $22 million to restore Solovetsky Islands World Heritage Site

SOLOVKI, August 18. /ITAR-TASS/. A total of 800 million rubles (over $22 million) will be allocated from Russia's federal budget to restore the ensemble of the Solovetsky Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage site, a deputy prime minister said on Monday.

“The Solovetsky Islands are a symbol of courage and faith for every Russian. The restoration of the ensemble is our duty,” Olga Golodets said.

The Solovetsky Islands are an archipelago in the White Sea. There are about 100 islands, inhabited by only 1,400 people. The Greater Solovetsky Island is the biggest, famous for its medieval monastery, which was founded in 1429. In the 1920-30s, a notorious Soviet prison camp was located on the archipelago. The site was included in the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1992.
