Stato, Chiese e libertà religiosa nella Russia post-sovietica: una lettura politico-ecclesiastica nello scenario di guerra

The contribution deals with the structure of relations between the state, churches, and religions in the Russian Federation, focusing on the evolutions brought about by Putin’s government and by the presence of Patriarch Kirill as head of the Orthodox Church of Moscow. The paper focuses on the status of religious freedom, in the light of both the rules governing it and the practical applications and repercussions on the front of the state and religious approach to the protection of fundamental rights. These themes have fallen into the current context of war and in the climate of tensions with Ukraine, both from a political and religious point of view.
