The Bike Riding Monk | Uncensored with Michael Ware

[music playing]
MICHAEL: Russian Orthodox Christianity
runs deep within the Night Wolves motorcycle club.
They even have their own bike riding monk,
a chaplain called Father Guriy.
How can I resist?
I have to meet him.
Oh, Father Guriy himself.
Ah, thank you for having us.
Another step to understanding this new Russian vision.
I meet him here at Lavra, outside of Moscow.
Lavra is a holy Russian Orthodox Christian
enclave of cathedrals and monasteries,
akin to a mini-Vatican.
So do you ride, Father?
Yes.
Really?
What bike do you ride?
One of your first rides, and Surgeon

[laughter]
The Night Wolves-- they were trying to find something,
and they found it.
Found it.

MICHAEL: If I'm trying to understand
the Russian identity, then one must also understand
Russian Orthodox Christianity.
[choir singing]
Every book, every historical period--
it was based on the--
You see-- you can see the church, the role of the faith.
This has been incredible.
This has really helped my understanding.
