I am particularly concerned about Putin’s (old and well-known) phrase ”… we as martyrs will go to heaven, and they will just die”, given that he goes to church, and will most likely consider himself a rightist/martyr in any case.
Good point. I find it somewhat concerning. Although my read is that, to a large extent, it is some sort of fake belief. If eternal bliss was his true anticipated experience, I’d expect him to act differently in a lot of cases.
