Moscova a trimis pe front rămășițele unui războinic medieval. Cum este folosit Dmitri Donskoi în războiul din Ucraina

A relic attributed to Prince Dmitry Donskoy has been sent to Russian soldiers in Ukraine, highlighting the increasing role of religious symbols in wartime discourse. The relic, believed to be from Donskoy's right hand, arrived at the front in early September and is being transported among military units in occupied Ukrainian territories. The Russian Orthodox Church presents Donskoy as a 'holy commander' and claims the relic provides spiritual support to troops. While some view this as a mobilizing myth linking history to the current conflict, others criticize the exploitation of religious symbols for patriotic purposes. The influence of the Russian Orthodox Church has grown during the war, with leaders expressing support for soldiers.
