On December 10, 2023, the Saint Elizabeth Monastery in Minsk hosted a gathering that centered on Russia’s ongoing war efforts in Ukraine, framing it as a battle against “Satanism”.

Religious Endorsement of the War

Nun Yevgenia expressed her gratitude to the monastery for its unwavering support of Russian soldiers. According to a report by “Christian Vision”, the monastery has provided essential supplies, including thermal imagers, headphones, uniforms, food, and letters. During her speech, Yevgenia emphasized that the conflict in Ukraine is not just geopolitical but a spiritual battle. She asserted that a “new Russia” is emerging from the war, rejecting Western influences symbolized by institutions like McDonald’s. Her statement, “We will take Manhattan and then Berlin”, echoed common themes in Russian propaganda.

Military Perspective on Losses and Ideological Warfare

Mikhail, addressing the audience, acknowledged the significant losses Russia has suffered, revealing that approximately 20,000 Russian soldiers perished in the battle for Bakhmut. Describing these casualties as “unimaginable losses”, he nevertheless upheld the war’s alleged purpose of resisting Western ideology, which he described as corrupt.

Clerical Endorsement of State Action

Archpriest Andrey Lemyashonak also spoke at the event, touching on the political events in Belarus in 2020. He claimed that President Alexander Lukashenko preserved the nation’s unity through decisive action, symbolized by his use of a machine gun. Lemyashonak linked his reflections on political resilience with references to God’s love and humanity’s divine purpose.

The Monastery Supports the Russian Military Aggression

The Saint Elizabeth Monastery’s involvement in supporting Russia’s war efforts has been well-documented. The Russian Telegram channel “Help for Brothers (special operation)” has publicly thanked the monastery for donations used to procure thermal imagers and other equipment for soldiers. Additionally, the monastery has organized fundraising efforts to provide aid to Donbas, further aligning itself with the Russian military’s objectives.

This event highlights the intersection of religion and state-driven narratives, where spiritual institutions serve to reinforce ideological and military goals. By providing both material and moral support to Russian forces, the Saint Elizabeth Monastery continues to play a role in justifying and sustaining Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
