The Baton and The Cross: Russia's Church and its Embrace of State Power
Thursday 13th February 2025
6:00—7:30pm
Using interviews gathered across the country and evidence from the archives, Ash has assembled a compelling picture of an institution with a distinct line of politics. She tracks its engagement with the KGB, the FSB, and Russia’s current incursions into Africa, showing how the Church has long been part of the Kremlin's geopolitical ‘crusade’ for multipolarity. In conversation with Denis Maksimov, Ash will uncover some surprising tenets of Russia's ‘official' spirituality.
