Ролята на Руската православна задгранична църква за формирането на антиболшевишкия дискурс на Балканите - 1918-1938 г.
The role of the Russian Orthodox Church abroad in shaping of the anti-bolshevik discourse on the Balkans in 1920-1940

Summary/Abstract: The Russian Orthodox Church is the first Church in the world that knows by experience and bears direct confrontation, persecution and physical extermination of the Bolshevik after the October Revolution of 1917. In the period between the two World Wars rescued and surviving in emigration Church leaders created a peculiar matrix of attitudes towards the communist ideology and practice of theomachy and atheistic government established in Russia. The representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church abroad developed certain persistent themes, stories and visions that were imposed not only in the Church circles, but were part of the overall political discourse of antibolshevism. It may even be argued that the statements of the two Church Councils (in1921 and in1938) and the official positions, as well as numerous published texts, created conceptual paradigm in the treatment of Bolshevism and hence the need for a comprehensive reading and look at the boundaries of this unexplored and seemingly traumatic for today's Church consciousness political problem.
