By Plenary Sessions: Juku-Kalle Raid

The rhetorical style is analytical, informative, and at times sharp, employing strong historical parallels and comparisons (e.g., the Stalinist sun versus the Putinist sun). The speaker utilizes quotes (Ivan Makarov) and personal experiences to establish credibility and underscore the unchanging political nature of the Russian Church. The objective is to convince colleagues of the seriousness of the subject matter and its historical continuity.
