Putin: Communism and Christianity are the Same and Lenin is a Saint

The following excerpts of Putin's interview taken from HERE

 “There were those years of militant atheism when priests were eradicated, churches destroyed, but at the same time a new religion was being created. Communist ideology is very similar to Christianity, in fact: freedom, equality, brotherhood, justice – everything is laid out in the Holy Scripture, it’s all there. And the code of the builder of communism? This is sublimation, it’s just such a primitive excerpt from the Bible, nothing new was invented.”

“Look, Lenin was put in a mausoleum. How is this different from the relics of saints for Orthodox Christians and just for Christians? When they say that there’s no such tradition in Christianity, well, how come, go to Athos and take a look, there are relics of the saints there, and we have holy relics here,”

BLOG'S COMMENT : 

Putin's statements are in the right direction. Communism and Christianity are not just have some similarities. Both are one and the same, spawned from the same root.
