Oliver Stone on how Russia sees the cultural differences between it and the US

"You're talking about Russia. You said it's a Christian culture. What does that mean? You know, they are a very strong Christian culture. They go to church a lot. They don’t sit during the service. They stand the whole time. That’s very serious.

Yes, we are a divided culture and there are so many sects. There’s the Jewish sect, there are the Arabs, this and that, and we’re all into different things. You know, some people are atheists, others don’t know, agnostics, this, that. The Russians feel that we’ve lost touch with Christianity and that we’re moving towards a more secular culture. And I can understand why."
