War-fatigued Russians are turning to entertainment for distraction in what could threaten Russia’s “civilizational identity,” said the head of Russia’s Orthodox Church. “After almost three years of active military operations, we see there’s a certain weariness among our fellow citizens of reports from the front lines,” Patriarch Kirill said at the church’s World Russian People’s Council.

Summary

Patriarch Kirill, head of Russia’s Orthodox Church, warned that Russians’ increasing focus on entertainment over war efforts risks eroding Russia’s “civilizational identity.” He noted growing “weariness” among citizens after nearly three years of military operations in Ukraine, lamenting that many prioritize personal comfort over supporting the military.

The Orthodox Church has publicly backed the war, calling it a “holy war.”
