В частности, затрагиваются вопросы, связанные с практикой совершения евхаристии и причащения в условиях гигиенических ограничений, рассматриваются христологические аргументы в пользу той или иной практики. Также предлагается интерпретация феноменологии и этиологии так называемого ковид-диссидентства. Отмечается, что недоверие к карантинным мерам среди епископата, духовенства и верующих Русской Православной Церкви стало причиной искусственной поляризации внутри нее по идеологическим признакам между условными «либералами» и «консерваторами».</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article examines various theological aspects of the perception of the coronavirus pandemic in the global Orthodoxy in general and the Russian Orthodox Church in particular. Among other aspects, it touches upon issues pertinent to the practices of celebration and distribution of the Eucharist under the conditions of hygienic restrictions. It also explores Christological arguments in support of each practice. The article proposes some particular interpretations of both phenomenology and etiology of the so-called Covid dissidence. It argues that artificial polarization on the ideological grounds between the so-called “liberals” and “conservatives” is one of the reasons why many bishops, priests, and lay people in the Russian Orthodox Church mistrust the quarantine measures.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>евхаристическая экклезиология</kwd><kwd>христология</kwd><kwd>агапа</kwd><kwd>covid-19</kwd><kwd>культурные войны</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Eucharistic ecclesiology</kwd><kwd>Christology</kwd><kwd>agape</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>culture wars</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Говорун К.
