I don't get why they'd risk moving relics like that to an active front line. Saint Dmitry's victory at Kulikovo was about faith and unity at home, not taking his bones into the fighting. Seems more like a PR move than anything spiritual.

Мощи везут не на передовую с автоматами, а в тыловые части или часовни, насколько я знаю. Дмитрий Донской как раз собирал людей вокруг веры перед Куликовской, так что это нормально. А вот заголовок с «супостатом» звучит как из старой газеты, мог бы и попроще.
