I agree. In fact I think that their religion would only serve to exacerbate things since (unless I'm very wrong) Russians are largely Orthodox Catholics and these people are largely protestant and evangelical



Yep. They have no idea how great the divide in between Orthodox and other branches of Christianity is. Even muslims are more normalized in Orthodox regions since they have been living side by side for ~1000 years. And Protestanism, Evangelicals etc? They are much more 'further out' than these right wingers realize.
