From msn.com:
Russian President Vladimir Putin has compared himself to Jesus Christ in a series of addresses this week in which he detailed his crusade against the West’s “Satanic” values.
Speaking to children via video call to mark the opening of a number of youth centres near Moscow, the premier quoted several bible passages – which follows his previous drawing of parallels between his ‘mission’ to protect Russian kids from what he called the creeping influence of the West and Jesus calling on Peter and Andrew to spread the word of God.
