The Sacred Wars of the Orthodox World

In Russia, a ban on self-discovery has been implemented. It is mandated to always consider oneself as a perennial victim of others' aggressions, sometimes merely retaliating. We, supposedly, have never undertaken crusades and have not waged sacred wars.

This issue is not just an internal church matter. If religion is considered a vital part of the "cultural code," it is important to know not only the self-promotional videos of this religion but also its real history. The question of this book is to show what standards of military ethics, rhetoric, and politics the Orthodox Church generates and reproduces from century to century.
