The Watchtower (Study Edition), “Who Is “the King of the North” Today?”
“Note why we can say that today the king of the north is Russia and its allies. … when Nazi Germany filled the role of the king of the north, particularly during the second world war … After World War II when the Soviet Union took on the role of the king of the north … in 2018 the Governing Body identified Russia and its allies as the king of the north.”
The study article sets out the organisation's own sequence of identifications — Germany, then the Soviet Union, then, from 2018, Russia and its allies — and ties the latest assignment to the 2017 ban on the organisation in Russia.
