Russia calls on the dead for war
The article explains the use of remains of historical figures, such as Prince Dmitry Donskoy, as symbols of moral and religious support on the fronts in Ukraine. This is aimed at boosting morale and reinforcing the narrative of defending the homeland. Portions of Donskoy's remains, including part of his hand, have been sent to Russian troops in occupied territories, where they are viewed as rallying and motivating symbols. The coordination between the Orthodox Church and Russian authorities is increasing, drawing criticism from clergy and opponents alike over the exploitation of religion for national and political purposes. While these symbols provide spiritual support to soldiers, there is ongoing debate about the boundaries of the Church’s use of religion to promote war.
