  To answer your question, the connection extends beyond Lucia's post hoc anti-Soviet turned pro-Russia "prophecy." It's certainly an interesting question how for Fatima conspiracy theorists the Cold War metamorphosed into an embrace of Putin's Russia as the great defender of white Christianity. At any rate, at least one of those Fatima Center Publications heavily relies on Russian state propaganda organs like RT (and others; can't remember).
  
  In retrospect my unlikely encounter with this stuff was the beginning of the end of my return to the Catholic Church. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it was a harbinger of things to come: the rise of Trumpism and the revelation that Putin minions actively manipulated Western actors, whether wittingly or unwittingly, to further Russian interests. Tragic.
