Once the first country to legalize abortion, Russia has undergone a sweeping moral transformation, slashing abortion rates from 5 million to under 500,000. In a candid interview from Moscow, Father Fyodor Lukyanov credits the Orthodox Church’s growing influence, and its alliance with state leaders for this pro-life shift. From mandatory heartbeat laws to regional abortion bans, Lukyanov describes a nation repenting of its past and embracing faith to heal its future. He warns, however, that the battle is also cultural: Russia is targeting what it calls destructive Western ideologies, like radical LGBT activism and surrogacy, as forms of “spiritual suicide.” By rejecting these trends and championing large families as national heroes, Lukyanov sees Russia not just surviving but being reborn through divine guidance and moral clarity.
