In this article, the authors analyze the changes that have taken place among Russia’s Christian Right since 2022, particularly with regard to their ambitions to transform Russia into a global bastion of traditional values. The article examines both the external dimension of these ambitions which position Russia as the guardian of traditional family values among the nations of the world, and the Russian Orthodox Church as conservative leader among other Christian churches; and their internal dimension which include a wave of reforms inside Russia radicalized by the war with Ukraine and aimed at defending traditional values. The authors’ overall conclusion is that the war has not interrupted Russia’s participation in the global cultural wars; it has merely shifted their focus and certain directions of action.

Abstract

In this article, the authors analyze the changes that have taken place among Russia’s Christian Right since 2022, particularly with regard to their ambitions to transform Russia into a global bastion of traditional values. The article examines both the external dimension of these ambitions which position Russia as the guardian of traditional family values among the nations of the world, and the Russian Orthodox Church as conservative leader among other Christian churches; and their internal dimension which include a wave of reforms inside Russia radicalized by the war with Ukraine and aimed at defending traditional values. The authors’ overall conclusion is that the war has not interrupted Russia’s participation in the global cultural wars; it has merely shifted their focus and certain directions of action.
