Putin and Trump to Meet in Alaska: What Russian Churches Symbolize

Putin's negotiator found Orthodox churches in Alaska for the meeting with Trump

Kiril Dmitriev, Putin's representative with Ukrainian roots, has discovered Russian Orthodox churches in Alaska for the upcoming meeting between the leaders of Russia and the USA. He chose the Feast of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary on August 15 for this important event and emphasized the symbolism of this date.

Dmitriev showcased photographs of churches that were built when Alaska belonged to the Russian Empire. He noted that 'The Orthodox Church of Alaska has Russian roots.'

Historical Links Between Alaska and Russia and the Possibility of Return

Kiril Dmitriev had previously referred to Alaska as 'an American of Russian descent' and highlighted the historical ties of this region to the Russian Orthodox Church. Although Russian officials have expressed a desire to reclaim Alaska, this remains a subject of discussion.

US President Donald Trump invited Russian President Putin to Alaska for the meeting. Many experts believe that this could have logistical advantages, as Alaska is situated close to both capitals - Moscow and Washington.

Thus, choosing Alaska may provide Trump the opportunity to hold an important meeting with Putin and gain significant global political influence.
