Putinodox Faith: Russian Official Proclaims That Putin Was Sent By God

It appears that Vladimir Putin is not just an action hero but an actual gift of God. First deputy administration chief Vladislav Surkov set a new standard for sycophants and lickspittles everywhere by announcing that Putin was sent here by God to lead the Russian people. Wow, I thought he was just sent by Marvel.

Surkov stated on television that “[t]o be honest, I think of Putin as a person who was sent to Russia by fate and the Almighty at a difficult hour.” Well, as long as he is being honest, does that mean God wants to beat protesters and reformists?

Surkov, however, has competition. A group described as a small female sect believes Putin is the reincarnation of Paul the Apostle. More important for Russian, he has his own vodka label. A saint who can make a mean Martini — now that should bring even the greatest agnostic to his knees.
