Summary/Abstract: The article introduces a key text of contemporary orthodox ethics called The Basis of the Russian Orthodox Church’s Social Concept, which synthesises theoretical and practical orthodox attitudes, briefly traces patristic sources from which this ethics originates and shows the connection of othodox ethics and spirituality, which is the basic and original accent of orthodox theology. Last but not least, it draws attention to several modern works of orthodox theologians, which are devoted to ethical themes.
