Abstract
"In the 1990s and 2000s, the state of the economy and the social sphere in the post-Soviet states have become objects of close attention by the Russian Orthodox Church in the persons of her Supreme Authority, clergy and laity, including those united in church public organisations. It is small wonder, considering the stormy economic and social changes that have affected literally every citizen in Russia and in other countries of the Commonwealth of the Independent States in the post-totalitarian period. Called to be concerned with the spiritual and material welfare of every person, the Church has responded to these developments by seeking to answer numerous questions asked by her spiritual children. While in the early 1990s the Church’s response in the economic and social sphere focused primarily on particular pressing problems, by the end of this decade and especially in the beginning of the 21st century, the Orthodox socio-economic thought has addressed the profound ethical issues involved in this field.", p 240.
