There is no jewish diaspora in russia like there is e. g. in Hollywood, and russian jews (both ashkenazis and sephards) are much more integrated and assimilated than their overseas. There are very few synagogues and jewish cultural centers. Prominent jews are mostly atheists, at least in public. They are nothing like the US jews.
The vile kremlin conglomerate is shortsighted, and the only reason of turning up this ``judeo-christian influence'' thing is to divert public attention from the budget fraud and stolen profits from peddling russian hydrocarbons. Add public tensions and you free some resources from hiding your malicious activities — no one will call you up on them because they will be busy with infighting. Divide and conquer.
