The purpose of the article is to analyze modern publicism on Orthodox topics posted on the Internet, from the point of view of the presentation of the standard of Orthodox publicism and options for deviating from this standard. It is noted that the Internet presents standard publicistic materials in which traditional religious topics are raised, analyzed from the position of church canons, and the publicist acts as a mentor (Alexey Ilyich Osipov). There are deviations from the standard – publications in which the priest does not delve into complex Christian truths, posts popular content, acts as a good friend, comrade (Anthony Rusakevich). Of particular interest is the journalistic work of Pavel Ostrovsky, who combines the seriousness and depth of the Orthodox journalistic standard with an appeal to a wide range of topics, as well as humor and provocation, allowing him to bring lightness to the content. A conclusion is made about the great future of such journalism, since the deviation from the Orthodox journalistic standard in it concerns primarily the form and does not affect the importance of considering complex anthropological and other Orthodox issues.
