Resumo

This research aimed to analyze the pro-Russia stance in Greece and Romania in the religious aspect. The hypothesis is that the secular environment of the favours a distancing of these countries from the European Union. This different perception of the role of religion in public life may contribute to a favourable perception of Russia as the protector of Orthodox Christians in the world. The theoretical framework was composed mainly of critical constructivism and the debate regarding religion in the field of International Relations. The applied methods were Guzzini’s interpretive process tracing and content analysis.
