  1. The links between American conservative organizations and Putin’s inner circle,
    including those tasked with pushing the Kremlin’s geopolitical policies throughout the West,
    have sometimes created outsized tensions for those on the American end of the relationship.

    One such moment came in early 2014,
    when Putin began citing the protection of ethnic Russians
    —and Russian Orthodox believers
    —as rationale for the annexation of Crimea.

    Even though the WCF announced that it would cancel its planned 2014 conference in Moscow,
    many of the scheduled speakers nonetheless showed up,
    and the conference proceeded in all but name.

    Beyond that, though, the gathering confirmed a trend long in the making, says Stroop.

    Indeed, the 2014 conference, he said, represented
    “Russia taking on the mantle of leadership of global social conservatism.”

  5. The links between Russian officials and the American Religious Right,
    like those between Kremlin-linked actors and American white nationalists,
    are easy to trace.

    According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Duma member #Yelena #Mizulina,
    who helped spearhead Russia’s anti-gay “propaganda” law,
    has been “heavily involved” with the WCF.

    #Vladimir #Yakunin, former head of Russian Railways
    —and a Kremlin insider who has cultivated additional links with the American theocratic “#dominionist” movement
    —has also served as a WCF committee member.

    Likewise, Russia’s 2011 package of anti-abortion legislation saw conspicuous links with the WCF’s efforts.

    To wit, the package of abortion restrictions, speared by Mizulina, was launched a day after a series of WCF higher-ups,
    including Carlson and Managing Director Larry Jacobs,
    settled into Moscow for a
    “Demographic Summit,”
    the WCF’s most substantial assembly in Russia to date.

    As the head of a Russian women’s advocacy group later said,
    “It was 100 percent clear that everything [in the anti-abortion legislation] was copied from the experience of American fundamentalists
    and conservative circles of several European countries
    where abortion is forbidden or restricted severely.”

    Or as the WCF would later claim in its promotional material:

    The WCF “helped pass the first Russian laws restricting abortion in modern history.”

    Still, the WCF is by no means the lone U.S. Religious Right organization outspoken in its praise of Moscow,
    or supporting Kremlin policy.

    Over the past few years, arch-conservatives in the U.S. have begun espousing something approaching infatuation with Putin,
    especially for Moscow’s leading role in both passing and encouraging anti-LGBT legislation.

    For instance, #Bryan #Fischer, who until 2015 was a spokesman for the "American Family Association"
    and who still hosts a show broadcast over its radio network,
    has called Putin the
    “lion of Christianity.”

    Evangelist #Franklin #Graham
    —who visited Russia in 2015 to meet with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill
    —has likewise lauded Putin as someone “protecting traditional Christianity.”

  10. ⭐️The World Congress of Families
    -- From Idea to Movement⭐️

    One of the primary vehicles in building Moscow’s relations with the U.S. Religious Right is known as the
    "World Congress of Families".

    Founded in 1997, the #WCF says its mission is to
    “respect, protect, and defend” the
    “natural family founded on marriage between a man and a woman.”

    A 2014 report in The Nation, looking at the WCF’s earliest days,
    detailed the close relationship between WCF founder #Allan #Carlson
    and the Russian Orthodox Church.

    In fact, the partnership between the two actually predates the WCF:

    According to Jennifer Butler’s
    “Born Again: The Christian Right Globalized,”
    Carlson, speaking in 1995 at Moscow State University,
    determined with a representative from the Russian Orthodox Church that
    “they needed … to bring together scholars and leaders from ‘newly free Europe and Russia’ to meet with leaders from the West.”

    Further, as Stroop recently detailed,
    the WCF grew as the brainchild of Carlson and #Anatoly #Antonov and #Viktor #Medkov,
    a pair of sociology professors at Lomonosov Moscow State University.

    The two Russians, according to Mother Jones, were casting about in the mid-1990s for a means to stave off their country’s looming “demographic winter”
    —the idea that progressive legislation,
    from birth control to LGBT rights,
    will precipitate civilizational collapse
    —and stumbled over Carlson’s prior work.

    Gathering in the apartment of a “Russian Orthodox mystic,”
    the trio outlined an organization that would help organize a global Christian right
    —and resurge Russia to a leadership position abdicated during the atheistic Soviet period.

    Some two decades on, the Illinois-based WCF has now morphed into one of the world’s foremost #antiLGBT organizations:

    Per the Southern Poverty Law Center, the WCF “is one of the key driving forces behind the U.S. Religious Right’s global export of homophobia.”

    The group hosts global and regional summits
    designed to share strategies and build connections among activists and policymakers.

    In 2016, the WCF hosted a conference in Tbilisi, Georgia,
    where speakers encouraged attendees to
    “stay firm against homofascists”
    and “rainbow radicals.”

    One of the keynote speakers at the event was #Alexey #Komov, who,
    as the WCF’s primary representative in Russia,
    has not only helped facilitate Moscow’s efforts to woo and fund far-right groups across the West,
    but is also closely linked with those backing Moscow-supported separatists in eastern Ukraine.

    The WCF is now run by #Brian #Brown, the co-founder and president of the vehemently anti-gay "National Organization for Marriage"
    and a man who has his own history of visiting Russia to lobby for anti-LGBT legislation.

    In December, Brown announced that the WCF will be run as a project of a new group, the
    "International Organization for the Family" ( #IOF ).

    Komov was among the anti-LGBT activists from around the world who joined Brown in South Africa for the IOF’s launch.

    Komov said at the time that allies in the Russian parliament would be promoting the group’s anti-LGBT manifesto,
    which they are calling "The Cape Town Declaration."

    And it appears that they are wasting no time.

    In early February, Brown sent a fundraising email from Moscow, where he had gone to promote the declaration and build working relationships with lawmakers from Putin’s United Russia party.

    The two Russians, according to Mother Jones, were casting about in the mid-1990s for a means to stave off their country’s looming “demographic winter”
    —the idea that progressive legislation,
    from birth control to LGBT rights,
    will precipitate civilizational collapse
    —and stumbled over Carlson’s prior work.

    Gathering in the apartment of a “Russian Orthodox mystic,”
    the trio outlined an organization that would help organize a global Christian right
    —and resurge Russia to a leadership position abdicated during the atheistic Soviet period.

    Some two decades on, the Illinois-based WCF has now morphed into one of the world’s foremost #antiLGBT organizations:

    Per the Southern Poverty Law Center, the WCF “is one of the key driving forces behind the U.S. Religious Right’s global export of homophobia.”

    The group hosts global and regional summits
    designed to share strategies and build connections among activists and policymakers.

    In 2016, the WCF hosted a conference in Tbilisi, Georgia,
    where speakers encouraged attendees to
    “stay firm against homofascists”
    and “rainbow radicals.”

    One of the keynote speakers at the event was #Alexey #Komov, who,
    as the WCF’s primary representative in Russia,
    has not only helped facilitate Moscow’s efforts to woo and fund far-right groups across the West,
    but is also closely linked with those backing Moscow-supported separatists in eastern Ukraine.

    The WCF is now run by #Brian #Brown, the co-founder and president of the vehemently anti-gay "National Organization for Marriage"
    and a man who has his own history of visiting Russia to lobby for anti-LGBT legislation.

    In December, Brown announced that the WCF will be run as a project of a new group, the
    "International Organization for the Family" ( #IOF ).

    Komov was among the anti-LGBT activists from around the world who joined Brown in South Africa for the IOF’s launch.

    Komov said at the time that allies in the Russian parliament would be promoting the group’s anti-LGBT manifesto,
    which they are calling "The Cape Town Declaration."

    And it appears that they are wasting no time.

    In early February, Brown sent a fundraising email from Moscow, where he had gone to promote the declaration and build working relationships with lawmakers from Putin’s United Russia party.

  13. ⭐️The World Congress of Families
    -- From Idea to Movement⭐️

    One of the primary vehicles in building Moscow’s relations with the U.S. Religious Right is known as the
    "World Congress of Families".

    Founded in 1997, the #WCF says its mission is to
    “respect, protect, and defend” the
    “natural family founded on marriage between a man and a woman.”

    A 2014 report in The Nation, looking at the WCF’s earliest days,
    detailed the close relationship between WCF founder #Allan #Carlson
    and the Russian Orthodox Church.

    In fact, the partnership between the two actually predates the WCF:

    According to Jennifer Butler’s
    “Born Again: The Christian Right Globalized,”
    Carlson, speaking in 1995 at Moscow State University,
    determined with a representative from the Russian Orthodox Church that
    “they needed … to bring together scholars and leaders from ‘newly free Europe and Russia’ to meet with leaders from the West.”

    Further, as Stroop recently detailed,
    the WCF grew as the brainchild of Carlson and #Anatoly #Antonov and #Viktor #Medkov,
    a pair of sociology professors at Lomonosov Moscow State University.

    The two Russians, according to Mother Jones, were casting about in the mid-1990s for a means to stave off their country’s looming “demographic winter”
