Pope Francis’s video speech to the All-Russian Meeting of Catholic Youth in St Petersburg, urging them to “not forget their heritage” has caused quite a stir.

Key Points: 
  • Pope Francis’s video speech to the All-Russian Meeting of Catholic Youth in St Petersburg, urging them to “not forget their heritage” has caused quite a stir.
  • So it now feels particularly insensitive – and somewhat unaware of the politicisation of religion in Russia’s imperial and present-day discourses.

Battle for souls

    • Some versions of the myth about the baptism of Prince Volodymyr indicate that the ceremony took place in modern-day Crimea.
    • From 1458, the inhabitants of Western Rus’ (Ruthenia) who were then under the rule of Poland-Lithuania selected their own “Metropolitan of Kyiv and all Rus”.
    • This view embraced the idea of Moscow’s duty to protect the “true” Orthodox faith after the fall of the previous centres of Christianity, a religious ideology with strong imperialist overtones.

Orthodox nationalism as imperial tool

    • The significance of religion increased after Peter I transformed the tsardom into an imperial state in 1721.
    • This declared mission sustained expansion wars under the guise of defending endangered Orthodox Christians.
    • Although the Russian empire was multi-faith in practice (in 1897, 30% of its subjects belonged to “foreign confession”), its rule was Orthodox.
    • It neglects how the history of both the Orthodox church and the Russian empire have been weaponised in Russia to justify its invasion of Ukraine.
