This sounds really good ! Especially numbers 2 and 9.

  1. Such an important aspect of modern life like mass migration is not left unattended. Unlike the Catholic approach that unduly favors migrants, particularly in Europe, the Orthodox notices the negative nature of the process, as well as the fact that it leads to confrontation of different identities and value systems. In addition, the Orthodox Church propose to look at the roots of this phenomenon. The reason for the migration is the liberal, hedonistic ideology bleeding the peoples of Europe and the interests of the capitalist elite, who need a cheap and disenfranchised workforce:
Attempts by indigenous people of the rich countries to stop the migration flow are futile, because come in conflict with greed of their own elites who are interested in the low-wage workforce. But even more inexorable factor driving migration was the spread of hedonic quasi -religion capturing not only elite, but also the broad masses of people in countries with high living standards. Renunciation of procreation for the most careless, smug and personal existence becomes signs of the times. The popularization of the ideology of child-free, the cult of childless and without family life for themselves lead to a reduction in the population in the most seemingly prosperous societies.
We must not forget that the commandment to all the descendants of Adam and Eve, said: “Fill the earth and subdue it.”… Anyone who does not want to continue his race will inevitably have to give way to the ground for those who prefer having children over material well-being*.

Take the racial and anti-capitalist nonsense out, and there are actually good points in there.
 
This is a lovely document and taken out of any context, it sounds as convincing as, let’s say, Marxism did a century and a half ago. Not that I am comparing one to the other, but to make sense out of these Orthodox pronouncements, one needs to look at the history of the Russian Orthodoxy over the centuries and its close ties to the tsarist regimes over the centuries. Holy Mother Russia, as they called themselves, conquered large parts of Asia and Europe in the XVIII- XX centuries and subjugated, in a slightly un-Christian fashion dozens of nations and countless tribes of peoples from the Pacific to the Black Sea. They still support Putin’s adventurism today. (conquest of sovereign Crimea and parts of Ukraine for starters) So,of course, the Russian Orthodox Church would speak out against any challenges, particularly from the West.
Their pronouncement outside historic context makes no sense.
 
And since Putin all but bankrupted Russia and the people are going hungry, the Orthodox church speaks up against consumerism. (point 10)
