I saw a comment article about this on portal credo by Archpriest Valery Roznov of one of the ROCOR (V-V), which is one of the Vitaly groups.

Thank you, Father Enoch, for sharing this article.

What is interesting, is the "English version" (by a interpreter) of the Putin's press conference, when the interpreter hears "Nikolay Krovaviy" it seems he was a little shocked and translate "Tsar Nicholas"

I know. Putin is just your average Russian ruling class person. When asked how the world would end he said, "The Sun will gradually die, and life on earth would end." Obviously no reference in any sense, or any prefacing whatsoever, for the truth of the Second Coming.

Sad, but not surprising.

Very true, Father.
I heard the delay and an almost stuttering response given by the translator indicating shock when he heard "Nikolay Krovavly." Several of the reporters also had stunned and disappointed looks on their faces.
