By Plenary Sessions: Eerik-Niiles Kross

The primary criticism is directed at the institution of the Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate and its leader, Kirill, for having embraced the radical *russkiy mir* ideology. The criticism is both ideological and political, stressing that the church has been transformed into a tool for justifying aggression and genocide. Furthermore, the mutual exploitation between the Kremlin and the Patriarchate, which has resulted in a symbiosis of ideologies, is also being criticized.
