The topic of this issue is Russian Orthodoxy. Firstly, Nikolay Mitrokhin discusses the position of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (of the Moscow patriarchate) after former President Petro Poroshenko’s attack on the church and the subsequent election of Volodymyr Zelensky. Secondly, Alexander Ponomariov posits that the recognition of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine by three “Greek” churches represents a viral reaction to their indisputable leader, the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
