February 12, 2021 Special Dispatch No. 9180 Russian Orthodox Scholar Chapnin: The Church, By Marching Lock Step With The Authorities, Is Alienating Russian Youth February 12, 2021 The religious scholar and former deputy editor-in-chief of the Moscow Patriarchate s publishing house, Sergei Chapnin[1] is worried about the long-lasting effects of the church hierarchy s unwavering support for Putin. This support was reiterated in response to the demonstrations supporting Alexey Navalny. Chapnin believes that the church is alienating the youth, who played a major role in the demonstrations, and is making no effort to understand the motivations behind their participation. Some local priests provide an exception by engaging with the youth. Thus ironically, it turns out that one task of a priest is to protect young people from church officialdom.
