If someone describes Russia as a "Christian" country in a way they wouldn't describe other countries in Europe as "Christian", you should disregard everything they say about Russia. They don't know what they are talking about.
In reality, Russia is a very irreligious country. There are far more practicing Christians in the United States or even Spain, Poland, or Greece.
Inb4 someone says "What about the ban on gay propaganda?" It's a sensible policy, but being Christian entails faith in Christ and attending church. Simply opposing homosexuality is not the extent of actually practising the religion.

Just days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Durov wrote that Telegram was "increasingly becoming a source of unverified information," and he worried about the app being used to "incite ethnic hatred." Telegram, which does little policing of its content, has also became a hub for Russian propaganda and misinformation. Many pro-Kremlin channels have become popular, alongside accounts of journalists and other independent observers. For Oleksandra Tsekhanovska, head of the Hybrid Warfare Analytical Group at the Kyiv-based Ukraine Crisis Media Center, the effects are both near- and far-reaching. Russians and Ukrainians are both prolific users of Telegram. They rely on the app for channels that act as newsfeeds, group chats (both public and private), and one-to-one communication. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Telegram has remained an important lifeline for both Russians and Ukrainians, as a way of staying aware of the latest news and keeping in touch with loved ones. However, the perpetrators of such frauds are now adopting new methods and technologies to defraud the investors.
