Putin calls for a project to promote 'traditional Russian values' overseas

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday called for the government to develop a program for overseas promotion of “traditional Russian spiritual and moral values,” a theme that the Kremlin has increasingly sounded in recent years.

In an order published on the Kremlin website, Putin instructed officials responsible for national projects to allot an unspecified amount of money for a program called “Russia in the World.”

The program would be aimed toward “developing international youth cooperation and promoting traditional Russian spiritual and moral values ​​abroad,” the order said.

The order did not specify the values that would be promoted, but Russia has shown rising animosity toward Western social liberalism, particularly toward legitimizing nontraditional sexual relations and gender identity.

Excuse me, but they hate traditional spiritual values. They only value what the Russian Orthodox church tells them to value. Russia has a wealth of traditional religious paths - all pretty much outlawed by Putin. I met and spent time with a Russian visitor who followed what would be known here as a Shaman's path... quite different and more interesting than the Russian Orthodox religion, IMO!
