Abstract

CHAPTER 8 [Prince Vladimir’s] spiritual feat of adopting Orthodoxy predetermined the overall basis of the culture, civilization and human values that unite the peoples of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Vladimir Putin, 18 March 2014 Do jihad in the cause of God, incite the believers and be patient in the face of this hardship. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of Daesh, New York Times , 5 July 2014 At the advent of the 16th year of the twenty-fi rst century, it appears that Western values continue to be the basis for global cooperation and inter- dependency. Most of the world’s peoples have adopted or are showing interest in some Western values. However, outliers in Russia and some Islamic societies and groups continue to reject Western values and pro- mote antiquated variations of Orthodox and Islamic values, which add an additional layer of confl ict and tension to global affairs and destabilize international cooperation and unity. ORTHODOX CIVILIZATION With the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, a new Russian republic emerged under President Boris Yeltsin and a group of oligarchs who purloined huge parts of the Russian economy. Yeltsin sought to take steps toward building a democracy, but he proved ineffective.
