Sometimes a single statement is enough to ignite a nationwide debate. That's exactly what happened during a meeting of the Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights, when Russian film director Alexander Sokurov took the floor.
Moscow Resident Demands Removal of Christmas Tree — “It Offends My Religion”
16/12/2025
In Moscow, a decorated Christmas tree in an apartment building sparked a
scandal.
The incident took place in a residential complex called "Srednevsky Les," where
residents had put up traditional decorations for the New Year. But one man
wasn't pleased.
"For many families in our building, including mine, based on our deep religious beliefs, the presence of such a symbol in a shared space is unacceptable."
He didn't name the religion, but he did demand the tree be removed.
Residents, however, stood their ground:
"We already had a vote. No one objected. The tree stays. Period."
📌
But the controversy didn't stop at the building entrance — it reached the
Russian parliament.
A member of the Duma responded:
"If you want to live in Russia, respect its laws and traditions. We have a proverb — don't bring your own rules into another's monastery. We shouldn't remove trees — we should remove those forcing their rules on us."

This isn't an isolated event.
Similar incidents happen every year — complaints about Father Frost, school
performances, and food menus. And it all looks eerily familiar...
Just like in
Germany, once a Christian country, now
stripped of its Christmas carols, pork sausages, and joy.
All because "someone might be offended."
🎯 Is this about respecting feelings — or canceling traditions?
What do you think? A tree — or a Trojan horse?

One letter — and the calm waters of migration policy began to ripple. Russian MP Mikhail Delyagin wants to revoke the long-standing agreement with Tajikistan. But why now?

A small-town incident just reshaped Russia's migration policy. What started with a drunken assault on a cadet in Kamyshin has now reached the Kremlin. And the response from the top made it clear: Russia is no longer ignoring the migrant issue.
At first, Latvia thought it could play big. Confiscate the "Moscow House", sell it, send the money to Ukraine, and brag about it in Brussels. But now, the bill has arrived — and it's 100 times higher than expected. Courtesy of the Moscow Arbitration Court.
Or is this the happiest geopolitical twist of the year?
While Europe pretends to matter, Moscow performs a silent, surgical operation. No noise. No panic. Just precision. Putin chose the perfect moment — right before meeting Donald Trump's envoy, Steven Witkoff — to send a clear message. One that will travel straight to Washington, undistorted.
While Europe is cracking under pressure and Macron tries to puff out his chest in Beijing, Vladimir Putin quietly lands in India — and rewrites the global script. In just two days, Russia didn't just remind the world of its presence — it made a bold move that echoed from Brussels to Washington.
