According to Father Borodin, the Church
is anxious to continue its traditions, including that of protecting the
masses from the unwanted influences of the West. He said the Church has
always worked to save the people. 'The Western and American way of life…something
that Russia has never seen before,' he said. 'It is adversely affecting
the people. …It is not culture…It is awful what is going on
in Russia.'
