The clip promotes military service while focusing on religious diversity and national unity. The Russian Defense Ministry has released a promotional video designed to encourage citizens to enlist in the military, placing strong emphasis on different ethnicities and religious denominations coming together to face a common enemy. The 90-second clip released by the ministry on Friday depicts a fierce battle, apparently between Russian and Ukrainian forces. On a sweltering summer day, several Russian soldiers are seen ducking into a trench under artillery fire, with one making the sign of the cross and saying an ‘Our Father’ prayer in front of a small Orthodox icon of St. George – one of the most venerated figures in Christianity, often associated with victory on the battlefield.
