O semiotyczno-kulturowych uwarunkowaniach niektórych figur w przemówieniach patriarchy Cyryla

This article is the semotic and cultural analysis of Patriarch Kirill’s speeches at conferencesand meetings of the World Russian National Council. Such speeches arenot only a part of the policy of the Russian Orthodox Church - which remains ina particular relationship with the official policy of the Russian state, but - makingan appeal to the Russian cultural identity - also aspire to be the synthetic approach,to show most important things for the Church. In doing so, they must refer to thoseparts of the Russian semiotic universe that are most recognizable to users of culture- as a sign of “selfdescription”. The recipient of a message, by “finding himself” inthis construct of identity, also can better understand the ideological level of message.Therefore, ideological constructs tend to have unusually abundant cultural background.This article focus on the background of those ideological constructs, whichare very current topic in the official discourse of the Russian Orthodox Church inrecent years - such as “The Russian Civilization” and “The Russian World”.
