The Defense Ministry's "talking head"—the deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces, also the commander of one of the "Akhmat" formations—has been promoting the idea of ​​a global, joint confrontation between Russian Muslims and Christians against "Satanism" since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war. He regularly finds himself in various scrapes: with the Zetniks, with nationalists, and with Orthodox priests. And the more he tries to "cross a snake and a hedgehog" with his obvious desire to be "one of the guys," the more harshly he is criticized from all sides.

In particular, Alaudinov's ideas, as presented in his book "The Army of Jesus in the Battle Against the Army of Dajjal-Antichrist," contain elements of heresy, according to Sergiy Fufayev, Deputy Chairman of the Synodal Missionary Department of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) for Apologetic Mission.

Fufayev believes that the book's fusion of Christian and Islamic doctrines distorts the foundations of the Orthodox faith. He identified three key distortions. The first is the idea of ​​a single God, consistent with Islamic interpretation. The second distortion, according to the priest, is that Jesus Christ is God's messenger for Muslims and Christians. The third is the idea of ​​a joint army of Muslims and Christians, led by Jesus Christ, to fight the Antichrist.

Archpriest Sergiy emphasized that Orthodox Christians believe in one God in three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—which is unacceptable to Islam. He called for “demonstrating the radical incompatibility” of Alaudinov’s ideas with Orthodox doctrine.
