The Belgorod Brit is back in sunny Belgorod and talks about the effect of religion on statecraft and warfare. In the film, he goes through the major religions, and their stance on violent conflict between countries.

In the podcast, BB takes a look at the politics of the Orthodox Church in Russia and Ukraine. Putin views the traditional religions as one of the pillars on which sovereign Russia is built. The Orthodox Church has returned the favour by naming the Ukrainian elites and their Western masters as fascists, and a force for evil. In effect, they have painted the Russian soldiers, of all faiths, as God's right hand. This has also created a common bond between the Iranian struggle against the hegemon and the Russian struggle to free the good people of Eastern Ukraine. He goes on to analyse why the Catholic Church cannot pretend to represent Western righteousness, or concepts of a just war, outside of Poland.
