Recent reports highlight a targeted campaign by Russia against evangelical Christians in Ukraine, portraying it as part of a broader strategy to undermine American influence. This campaign includes intimidation, enforced conversion, and violence, with incidents like Azat Azatyan being severely beaten and interrogated about his faith, specifically about becoming a Baptist and an alleged American spy. Concurrently, Russia is attempting to sway the American electorate by promoting narratives that align with Christian conservative values, despite evidence of their persecution of Christians. Notable journalists and commentators, including Peter Pomeranzev, have detailed these actions, emphasizing the contradiction between Russia's internal policies and its external propaganda efforts. Additionally, American law firms are reportedly spending millions to support these narratives.
