I don't know. I don't think that the Orthodox Church sees him as evil?
http://www.redstate.com/diary/davenj1/2017/01/18/understanding-putin-lens-religion/ Putin has carefully nurtured his relationship with the Church. He has demanded that the oligarchs fund the rebuilding of almost 25,000 Orthodox churches in Russia. A recent law passed forbids the practice of religion outside of an established church- a law that targets Western religions like Jehovah’s Witnesses that practice in their home. The Moscow Patrirachate is exempt from the law. An American Baptist minister was arrested and fined for conducting a Bible study group in his home. The Church is consulted on legislation of any nature that may touch upon religion.
