15:37Now PlayingIn a bold and calculated move, Russian President Vladimir Putin shocked the world by kissing a gold-encrusted Quran during a surprise visit to Chechnya, where he met with the region's strongman, Ramzan Kadyrov. This unexpected display comes hot on the heels of Putin's new decree, offering refuge to those who reject “destructive neoliberal values” and embrace Russia's hardline stance on traditionalism. “We welcome those who oppose the erosion of moral values,” Putin declared, as the decree waives typical residency requirements for those fleeing liberal ideologies. The visit also brought to mind the case of Nikita Zhuravel, a man sentenced to prison earlier this year for burning a Quran in what Russian authorities claim was a stunt orchestrated by Ukrainian intelligence. Putin’s Quran kiss wasn’t just a symbolic gesture; it was a declaration of Russia’s role as a global bulwark against Western liberalism, signaling his regime’s deepening embrace of religious conservatism.
