'Putin has always been a man who is serious about personal faith and even wearing a small aluminium cross that he showed off to George W Bush. It was ostensibly given to Putin by his Christian mother when he was secretly baptised in the early 1950s.

'Putin obviously didn’t flaunt it during his KGB days but claims: “In 1993 when I worked on the Leningrad City Council, I went to Israel as part of an official delegation. Mama gave me my baptismal cross to get it blessed at the Lord’s Tomb. I did as she said and then put the cross around my neck. I have never taken it off since.”

'Unlike the Communists, Putins has cultivated a relationship with the Orthodox Church and one of his closest confidant is Archimandrite Tikhon, the Father Superior of Sretensky monastery. Some have even claimed that Tikhon knows more about Putin than anyone else. Putin and Tikhon worked closely to re-unify the Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia. Tikhon has also claimed that Putin prays daily in a small chapel.

'Putin has also encouraged the Church over other religious bodies, with numerous churches rebuilt including the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow.'
