This document discusses the emergence of a "new Russian Byzantinism" through the strengthening of relations between Russia and various European political parties and the Russian Orthodox Church. It notes that for Russia to withstand a long-term confrontation with Europe, it needs to develop a new political front. Some European political parties may synchronize with this new Russian Byzantinism, but it remains to be seen which ones and how involved Europe will be politically. In Italy specifically, there is a new rapprochement between the Russian state seeking a unifying national idea and the Russian Orthodox Church seeking to recover past prestige through mutual support. The Russian government emphasizes supporting the church's politics, such as opening a new Orthodox church in Rome to favor further

Cu ocazia deciziei Italiei de a dezvolta un program de cooperare economică cu Rusia mi-am adus aminte de
un articolul din 1949:
Nous nous sommes sans aucun doute écartés du problème du mouvement du prolétariat moderne
afin d’établir que, si l’on veut le définir comme une Byzance, il ne faut pas s’en prendre uniquement
aux socialistes italiens de cette moitié de siècle, mais à ceux de tous les pays depuis qu’on s’est mis
à parler de socialisme.
Une Byzance socialiste?!
Pe 5 martie a.c. președintele Putin declara la conferința comună cu premierul italian:
Russian-Italian relations rest on the rich traditions of long-term friendship and mutual respect. Italy
is one of Russia’s most important partners in European affairs and in resolving pressing
international issues.
Today’s talks with Prime Minister Renzi took place in an atmosphere of goodwill and constructive
dialogue, typical for Russian-Italian relations. Our conversation was very useful and timely, given
the current situation in Europe and the world at large.
We discussed the state of our bilateral relations and of relations between Russia and the European
Union. We spoke for their further development, which would meet the interests of Russia and the EU
member states. Sursa
Ca să poată rezista pe termen lung unei confruntări cu Europa, Rusia trebuie să dezvolte un nou front
politic, cine, cum și cât va fi implicată Europa politică rămâne să vedem. Ce partide europene se vor
sincroniza la noul bizantinism rusesc, la fel, rămâne să vedem.
Însă în Italia evoluția este chiar mai sofisticată:
At the beginning of the twenty-first century a new rapprochement can be observed between the
Russian state (looking for a unifying national idea) and the Russian Orthodox Church (looking to
recover its past prestige) for the sake of mutual support. In the Church’s recent documents this type
of relationship is called so-rabotnichestvo (collaboration).70
Russian diplomatic institutions also emphasize their support for the Church’s politics. Russian
Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov, in his address to the World Russian People’s Council,
stated: ‘We attribute particular attention to our collaboration with the Russian Orthodox Church
[ . . .] This collaboration corresponds to one of the oldest and most profound traditions of our
diplomacy’.71
