7 Day Adventists in Putin's Russia

New blog on the kid: 7 Day Adventists in Putin's Russia · There is a Certain Brand of Orthodox · Is Someone Accusing me of the Faults of the Gospel's Pharisees? · Assorted retorts from yahoo boards and elsewhere: Asking Me For Patience is Stupid — and NOT Because I am Impatient, But the Patience I Have is Ill Used By Others · I'm Glad CSL Got Out of his Belsen Situation at Wyvern

Here is a link in Russian:

«Адвентистскому вестнику» — 30 лет
https://esd.adventist.org/2024/03/28/adventistskomu-vestniku-30-let/

I don't know Russian. I use Google translate, but in order for it not to be too inaccurate, I divide the text at every full stop and even nearly every comma (except once two commas surrounding two words). The date however is in Arabic numerals. 28.03.2024 = what I write as 28.III.2024 or 28th March 2024. I was celebrting Maundy Thursday, and Russia wasn't. Not sure what Adventists do on Easter, the 7 Day type that is (I've referred to Apocalyptically minded Roman Catholics, like myself as "8 Day Adventists" ...the Day of Resurrection, the Holy Day of the New Covenant being the Octave of the First Day, and Adventist as in expecting Second Advent to be upcoming. The relation involves some mutual scorn. Muted (also on both sides) in deference to what one thinks polite limits.

But that's apparently not the case (at least so far) between Putin and 7 Day Adventists. The article says the paper and online publication is 30 years old. I have a problem with Putin. I have a problem with 7 Day Adventists. They don't have a problem with each other. Do they each have a problem with me? Do they to some extent rely on each other? At least the opportunity is available:
