Summary/Abstract: The Russian Orthodox Church is the first in the Orthodox world to start building codified social teaching. The basic document was published in 2000. as the basis for the future development of specific questions. In this article the author analyses the position of the Church in issues of work and the economy. He starts with an analysis of the appropriate parts of the 2000. document, and then moves to the second document that was adopted in 2004. under the name of the Code of moral rules in the economy. At the end, these attitudes are compared with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and the author explores the consequences of the attitudes of the Russian Church in the overall social trends in Russia.
