Margarita Simonyan explains why baptism is not a custom for Orthodox Christians

RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan replied to a message that on Vladimir Solovyov's program she made her sign with a Catholic cross, not an Orthodox cross. She recalled that she was Armenian – this is how people are baptized in the Armenian Apostolic Church.

Margarita Simonyan was once again suspected of belonging to the Catholic Church. In her Telegram channel, she displayed a message that read: “10/20/24. In the program “Sunday evening with Vladimir Solovyov” in your speech you made the sign of the Catholic cross, but not the Christian cross. Be careful!

RT's editor-in-chief corrected the author of the message, noting that it may have had a non-Orthodox meaning.

She has previously commented on computer glitches around the world. Simonyan believes that in Russia there are “no failures” thanks to domestic software. RT's editor-in-chief noted that it “although sometimes unbalanced, is its own thing.”
