Russian Natrionalist Orthodox Theology: A New Trend in the Political Life of Russia
Abstract
Presently nationalist circles seem to promulgate a synthesis of Russian Orthodox
Christianity with Marxism and ultra-patriotism. Russian nationalist Orthodox
theology teaches that Jesus Christ was Russian or Slavic; it leans toward violence
and is apt to quickly change the target oppressor who is broadly defined as
anyone who is non-Russian or non-Orthodox. Russian nationalist Orthodox
theology may be used at the Presidential Elections 2008 to boost an ultranationalist
candidate.
