Katechon - The Third Rome In such a situation, Russia has no choice but to become what it is not, but a position it is forced to assume by the very coincidence of circumstances. The platform for such a confrontation in the roots of Russian history and culture certainly exists. It is above all Orthodoxy, sacred values and the high ideal of an empire endowed with a katechistic function, which must be seen as a bulwark against chaos [1]. To a residual extent, society has preserved the concepts of harmony, justice and the preservation of traditional institutions - family, community, morality - that have survived several centuries of modernisation and westernisation, and especially the last atheistic and materialistic era. However, this alone is not enough. To resist the force of chaos truly effectively, a large-scale spiritual awakening, a profound transformation and revival of the spiritual foundations, principles and priorities of the sacred order is required. Russia must quickly affirm internally the beginnings of the sacred katechetical order, which was established in the 15th century in the continuity of the Byzantine heritage and the proclamation of Moscow as the Third Rome. Only an eternal Rome can hinder the almighty flow of the liberated time. But for this it must itself be an earthly projection of the heavenly vertical. — [1] A. G.
