Andrei Yakhnin
Yakhnin wrote about “the need to make sense of this system-forming phenomenon of modern culture, which is aggressively trying to dominate the world. We cannot ignore this domination because it inevitably leads to the existence of a cultural-civilizational reservation. The Orthodox Church has been the nucleus around which Russian culture and civilization formed, and obviously must not allow itself to be locked up in such a reservation. Therefore, we who declare ourselves members of the Orthodox Church must to the best of our ability try to analyze the processes taking place in modern culture, formulating and arguing our own position.”
