The Russian Orthodox Church: Ideology, Politics, and War Part 1

The Russian Orthodox Church plays an important role in supporting Russia's war in Ukraine, even at the cost of an intra-Orthodox theological schism. For many years, the Moscow Patriarchate has supported the Russian authorities in many of their political goals while retaining its autonomy in some societal and memory-related themes, and has taken the lead of the traditional values crusade. Join us with a unique team of experts to discuss the politics and ideology of the Russian Orthodox Church, before the war and since then.
