This essay offers a critical review of S. V. Deviatova and V. I. Kuptsov's 2011 paper, "The fate of Nicolaus Copernicus", and of several other recent Russian works on Galileo's trial. It points out numerous factual errors and discusses interpretations of the nature and causes of the 1633 inquisition against Galileo. Contrary to the assertions of Devyatova and Kuptsov, it can be demonstrated that Urban VIII put Galileo on trial not for the defense of Copernican theory as such, but because of the latter's conviction that science can reveal true causal relations in nature, which put into question God's omnipotence.
