ДУБОКИ РАСКОЛ У ПРАВОСЛАВЉУ КАО ПОСЛЕДИЦА СУКОБА У УКРАЈИНИ: ГЕОПОЛИТИЧКА ПЕРСПЕКТИВА
DEEP SCHISM IN ORTHODOXY AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE CONFLICT IN UKRAINE: A GEOPOLITICAL PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the geopolitical processes that were triggered by the conflict in Ukraine in 2022, what led to them and how they affect the Orthodox civilization. The conflict in Ukraine is not only a military conflict, it is a conflict of value systems, a propaganda conflict, a conflict between two nations of similar language, religion, culture and history, and a conflict for the new world order. These similarities, as well as belonging to the same civilizational order, were placed in another plan, far behind geopolitical goals. In recent years, Orthodoxy has suffered a lot and is facing problems of an existential nature. The ideals and values that have been cherished for centuries in the Orthodox civilization, and which have been preserved to this day, cease to be valued and lose their importance. The ongoing schism within the Orthodox civilization can create insurmountable consequences for the Orthodox world and thus completely fall under the influence of other civilizations. What is needed is to return to the essence of Orthodox values and strive towards the idea of unity, true freedom within society and valuing the individual. Only then will Orthodox civilization be able to overcome the problems imposed on it by external factors and only then will it realize its potential.
