摘要：In this article the author studies the attitude of Russian Orthodox Church towards globalisation processes. Analysing the relation of Orthodoxy to globalisation, the author finds out that there is a strong resistance to this social process, even to the idea of deleting the autochthonous nations, their cultures and traditional values. The leaders of the critical reflection of globalisation are the Russian Orthodox Church and the Greek Orthodox Church. Other Orthodox Churches, particularly those in the Balkans – Serbian, Bulgarian, Rumanian, which could be accompanied by some others – more or less keep silent on this issue, because they have already come under the influence and control of globalists. An alternative to globalisation has been conceptually worked out and it can be seen in trying to unite the Orthodox nations and states into one state, first of all to unite Russia, the Ukraine, Byelorussia and Caucasian peoples, and then the Balkan Orthodox Christians. Although the idea of the “Eastern Union” has been pretty old, its operationalisation has had a weak basis. All comes to an end on a declarative level. The mentioned idea among the Balkan Orthodox Christians, especially among the Serbs, has some additional difficulties, because a mere mention of it is understood as a heresy which meets with a general condemnation of media that are under the globalists’ control.
