Kirill claims that Russia should teach the whole world its way of life.
"At one point, Russia saved the world from the terrible plague of fascism. The victory was achieved, first of all, thanks to Russia's sacrifices, first of all," he said.
In the meantime, according to Gundyaev, Russia is surrounded by immoral enemies - infidels.
"Russia Today must help the world, which is increasingly plunging into a spiritual and moral crisis, find salvation, just as the country once saved the planet from the terrible plague of fascism," Kirill said.
