The Russian Orthodox Church (РПЦ) is actively involved in public and legal affairs, notably advocating for leniency in high-profile cases such as that of Ksenia Belousova, who made a video smoking a hookah on a Paschal cake. The church has intervened in judicial proceedings by submitting petitions to mitigate punishment based on the defendant's repentance and has promoted Christian values in education, including calls to include religious ethics courses in medical universities.
