Summary/Abstract: Consideration of the human-nature relationship goes beyond the natural and social sciences. All creatures have an equal right to exist. According to Orthodox ecotheology, the Absolute called entities into existence and gave them certain rights. This article aims to analyse the significance of the environment in Orthodoxy, using the work of Russian philosopher and theologian Tatiana Goricheva as an example. Referring, among other things, to the philosophical-theological and hagiographical reflections contained in the works of the author of Holy Animals, the status of the natural environment in Orthodoxy and its role in the history of salvation is discussed, and a consideration of Christian biocentrism and anthropocentrism in Orthodoxy is undertaken.
