Using a critical discourse analysis of official, religious, and media sources, it examines the practices and narratives that produce a patriotic subjectivity based on fear, loyalty, and obedience. The results show that this alliance between the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church legitimizes political actions, such as the war in Ukraine, under a spiritual rhetoric that strengthens social cohesion and consolidates an exclusive moral community.

Utilizando un análisis crítico del discurso de fuentes oficiales, religiosas y mediáticas, se examinan las prácticas y narrativas que producen una subjetividad patriótica basada en el miedo, la lealtad y la obediencia. Los resultados muestran que esta alianza entre el Kremlin y la Iglesia ortodoxa legitima acciones políticas, como la guerra en Ucrania, bajo una retórica espiritual que fortalece la cohesión social y consolida una comunidad moral excluyente. Se concluye que el Russkiy Mir representa una forma postsecular de modernidad que utiliza lo sagrado como tecnología de poder para ofrecer un modelo político alternativo al liberalismo secular.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2025-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer reviewed articleArtículo evaluado por paresaRapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/anthropologica/article/view/31191Anthropologica del Departamento de Ciencias Sociales; Vol. 43 No. 55 (2025): Religion and Spiritualities in the Modern World/New Cultural Perspectives; 277-301Anthropologica; Vol. 43 Núm. 55 (2025): Religión y espiritualidades en el mundo moderno/Nuevas perspectivas culturales; 277-3012224-64280254-9212reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/anthropologica/article/view/31191/28391Derechos de autor 2025 Gladys Angelica Vasquezhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/311912025-12-15T17:48:28Z |
