The Russian Orthodox Church is acting like a growth stock. The leading confession in Russia has been growing at the rate of nearly 1,000 churches a year.

According to Patriarch Kirill the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) now numbers 34,764 churches. Five thousand Russian Orthodox churches have been built or restored since 2009.

Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks to build two monasteries and a church inside the Kremlin Walls. The religious structures had been demolished during Soviet times. According to reports this represents the largest construction project inside the Kremlin in nearly a century

The Church has 361 bishops, nearly 40,000 priests and deacons, 455 monasteries and 471 convents.

The Russian OrthodoxChurch under the presidency of Vladimir Putin has strengthened. Christianity today writes:

Most people are unaware that Putin the was illicitly baptised as an infant at the behest of his mother against the wishes of his staunchly Communist father at a time when the Church was still out of favour.Around 23,000 churches fell into disrepair or were demolished during Communist rule. However, Putin has sought to reverse this decline, signing orders restoring some of the Church’s large landholdings confiscated under Communism.

Putin Secretly Baptiszed Moscow Times

President Vladimir Putin said in a documentary that his mother had him christened as a child in secret from his father, who was a member of the Communist Party organization in the factory where he worked.

“My mother baptized me in secret from my father, who was a member of the Communist Party … It touched on me personally and my family,” Putin said.

As a party member, his father would have faced problems if the authorities had found out about the christening.
