Putin clings to the miracle of an incorruptible 14th-century prince to boost the morale of his crumbling soldiery in Ukraine

The article discusses how Russian President Vladimir Putin has used the discovery of the well-preserved remains of Prince Dmitry Donskoy, a 14th-century prince, to boost morale among his troops during the ongoing war in Ukraine. The remains were found during restoration work at the Cathedral of the Archangel Michael in Moscow’s Kremlin, where they had been resting undisturbed for nearly seven centuries. Religious authorities described the find as a miracle, and political figures linked it to the current military campaign, suggesting it could inspire soldiers. While historical records confirmed the presence of the remains, they had never been exhumed before. The Church declared the remains authentic based on historical data, archaeological context, and anthropological study. The article highlights the symbolic importance of the event for Russia’s national narrative.
