Since late 2019, Russian Orthodox priests have been spotted actively using TikTok, with some videos gathering over 500,000 views. A number of users of the new social network are unhappy with their presence, but the clergymen appear resolute about TikTok being the future for reaching young people.
The first popular Orthodox Christian channel on TikTok was set up as part of the “Father Online” project, whereby priests answer questions posted on social media.
