This study is an analysis at the crossroads of axiolinguistics and media linguistics which presents axiological correlations between the concept RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH and the concepts FAMILY, TRADITION and PATRIOTISM. The research material is a corpus of over 400 texts published in the portal www.rg.ru between 2011 and 2020. The analysis indicates a close relationship between the concepts under scrutiny. The anthropomorphisation of the RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH contributes to its perception through the prism of the FAMILY, primarily in the psychosocial and axiological aspects. What is of key importance in the case of both of these concepts is interpersonal relationships – care, and above all: love, perceived not only as the highest value, but also a condition of humanity and true happiness. The relationship between the RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH and TRADITION, in turn, is essentially based on the category of duration, which is fundamental to social self-identification. TRADITION is perceived as the sum of the secular and the religious dimensions, since the history of the Russian Orthodox Church is inextricably linked with the history of statehood, both in material and spiritual terms. The common elements of the concepts RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH and PATRIOTISM are love for the motherland and readiness to defend it. The categories of memory and duration in time are also important.This work was financed from a subvention for maintaining and developing the research potential of the Institute of Slavic Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences.
