Abstract

The early stages of support by the Russian Orthodox Church for the ideology of the “Russian world” are marked with the specific idea of Russian “superethnos”. This idea contradicts the basic church concepts, its unity and catholicity. The speeches and publications from 2009, when this ideology was openly and actively supported by the Moscow Patriarchate for the first time, are analyzed in the article.
