INFLUENCING AND USING THE RELIGIOUSITY OF THE PERSONS WITH PROPENSITY TO EXACERBATION OF THE RELIGIOUS ZEAL OF RUSSIA FOR POLITICAL-STRATEGIC AND SECURITY PURPOSES
Journal Title: Studia Securitatis - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
People's religiousity is an extremely important element for determining affinities and shaping people's behavior, meaning fanaticism, which then coalesces into masses of people with the same visions of society in which they live, relating to certain forces from outside. The Russian Federation has made and is makng strong efforts to develop the idea of panslavism with Russian Orthodoxy as a main component, the exacerbation of religious zeal doubled by the rejection of everything that contradicts its own beliefs by acquiring passionate feelings. These steps have been and are being done precisely to support both the internal policy interests, but especially those of foreign security and -military strategy. The link between the Russian establishment, especially between President Vladimir Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) represented by Patriarch Kirill, is visible and even promoted. In fact, this connection has had real success, as is the case with Ukraine, where an important segment of the population, like Crimea, has destabilized the entire nation, joining fanatically to the Russian religious and cultural community. In this article, we intend to highlight the strong link between the ROC and the Russian establishment and, on a timely basis, the results of this collaboration to promote the security interests of the Russian Federation on an international level.
