The authors persuasively argue that matters of state security should not be ignored
Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing presents a growing body of evidence that the Russian Orthodox Church and its leaders often have acted and continue to act as agents of the Russian State, advancing its imperial ambitions by spreading the Russian World (Russkiy Mir) ideology to justify Putin’s war in Ukraine. More alarmingly, the authors demonstrate that numerous parishes of the Russian Church located in other parts of the world, especially Europe, have engaged in intelligence gathering and other activities to undermine the security of their host countries. The authors persuasively argue that matters of state security should not be ignored out of the legitimate concern for religious freedom.
