Once the first country to legalize abortion, Russia has undergone a sweeping moral transformation, slashing abortion rates from 5 million to under 500,000. In a candid interview from Moscow, Father Fyodor Lukyanov credits the Orthodox Church’s growing influence, and its alliance with state leaders for this pro-life shift. From mandatory heartbeat laws to regional abortion bans, Lukyanov describes a nation repenting of its past and embracing faith to heal its future. He warns, however, that the battle is also cultural: Russia is targeting what it calls destructive Western ideologies, like radical LGBT activism and surrogacy, as forms of “spiritual suicide.” By rejecting these trends and championing large families as national heroes, Lukyanov sees Russia not just surviving but being reborn through divine guidance and moral clarity.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
