Abstract:

This article is devoted to traditional confessions in Russia. The impact of these confessions on the spiritual life of the country and their influence on the country´s culture are analyzed. In modern geopolitical and geoeconomic realities, the role of Orthodoxy, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism in the formation of Russia´s spirituality is great, and the study of their contribution to ensuring the country´s national security is relevant. The most interesting and new is the author´s attempt to consider the designated issues as if "from within" the confessions.

Keywords: Orthodoxy, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, national security.
