Religious leaders have become more visible in matters of providing humanitarian aid, conducting rehabilitation, and building international relations. In times of uncertainty, people turn to faith, and this creates an opportunity for actors like Russia to cloak propaganda in religious language and imagery. Ukrainian society is predominantly Orthodox Christian. Two rival Orthodox Churches exist in the country: The Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP). The latter is widely seen as a pro-Russian actor. In 2024, Ukraine passed legislation allowing for the disbandment of religious communities with ties to Russia and those spreading Russian propaganda. But how does one identify this sort of propaganda? In my contribution, I aim to discuss the methodology of identifying the (pro)Russian propaganda in religious messaging on social network Telegram. Drawing on the ongoing research of roughly a thousand Ukrainian religious Telegram channels that we are conducting with my colleagues at the Kyiv School of Economics, I seek explore the limitations of the concept of (pro)Russian propaganda when it comes to religion.
