The Russian Orthodox Church (РПЦ) is actively involved in shaping public policy and moral discourse in Russia, advocating for the inclusion of Christian values in medical education and supporting legal leniency for individuals who express repentance. It has intervened in high-profile judicial cases, such as that of a woman who made a video of smoking a hookah on a Paschal cake, urging the court to consider her remorse. The church also participates in state and international events, including representing Russia at the funeral of Iran's former leader.
