          Abstract

          Abstract The article intends to demonstrate that the foreign policy of the Russian Orthodox Church (IOR) affects the implementation of Moscow’s policy in the war against Ukraine. The main goal is to determine how the Kremlin, through various hybrid capabilities and techniques, uses the IOR to implement its foreign policy vectors. The study is based on a historical analysis of the inter- national activities of the IOR, focusing on the activities of the Department of Church External Relations (DREI) of the Patriarchate of Moscow, which was created, in 1946, by Stalin and taken over by Vladimir Putin. In this context, the DREI of the Patriarchate of Moscow was and conti- nues to be “the invisible hand” of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB), which works under religious cover at the world level.

          Resumo O artigo pretende demonstrar que a política externa da Igreja Ortodoxa Russa (IOR) afeta a concretização da política de Moscovo na guerra contra a Ucrânia. O objetivo é determinar como o Kremlin, através de diversas capacidades e técnicas híbridas, usa a IOR, para a concretização dos seus vetores de política externa. O estudo tem como base uma análise histórica das ativida- des internacionais da IOR, focando-se nas atividades do Departamento de Relações Externas da Igreja (DREI) do Patriarcado de Moscovo, que foi criado, em 1946, por Estaline e retomado por Vladimir Putin. Neste contexto, o DREI do Patriarcado de Moscovo, foi e continua a ser, “a mão invisível” do Serviço Federal de Segurança da Federação Russa (FSB), que trabalha sob cobertura religiosa a nível mundial.
