These meaningless honorifics are exchanged all the time, going back to the days of the Byzantines. It's called "playing nice".

The Patriarch should consider himself a lucky man in that they didn't "award" him with a gift of exploding, death-dealing rockets and bombs.
Those folks have a deserved reputation of being mighty generous with those kinds of "gift".

People try not to get the Russians too mad at them. They carry grudges, and they fight dirty. The Chechens are an exception, because they're all crazy--have been since the time of Turgenev.
