“Historic Russian admiral Fyodor Ushakov – a hero of Russia’s wars against Turkey and Napoleon Bonaparte – was designated the patron saint of nuclear-armed, long-distance Russian bombers by the Orthodox Church.”
“Ushakov’s canonisation as a saint in 2004 follows a strong tradition in Russia of close relations between the Orthodox Church and the state, which was revived after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.”
