The Great Caucasian God

It sounds like a sermon with a nuclear undertone - where faith is intertwined with weapons, and prayer sounds louder than an alarm siren. There are biblical images, man-made nightmares, and a strange confidence that “our people” will always be saved. Sarcasm seeps through the lines, as if someone turned on a televangelist against the backdrop of disaster news. And instead of comfort, only a cold thought remains: sometimes scarier than the end itself is the conviction that it will come “according to plan.”
