About the Importance of Spiritual-Religious Correlation

The importance of the spiritual-religious correlation can be discussed, especially illustratively and argumentatively, on the example of the Serbian-Russian relations, which have exceptional semantic depth and historical foundation. Among other things, the similar representations of New Israel with the Serbs and Holy Russia and Third Rome with the Russians point to related patterns that essentially influenced the formation of Serbian and Russian collective consciousness. Likewise, the pronounced and firm Russophilia among the Serbs is a specific phenomenon that relates to the above-mentioned conceptual patterns. In this Article – in a form of a concise and illustrative review, a special emphasis is placed on the current Serbian-Russian relations, as well as the importance of their cooperation and mutual understanding.
