This work studies the concept of “victory” in war and reconstructs various aspects that determine the conditions of this victory. At the same time, the author attempts to raise the question of victory in the context of Orthodox Christian ethics of war. The main emphasis is on the fact that victory in Orthodox Christian ethics of war can be interpreted not only as military advantage, but also as the end of war and the advent of peace. It is not a moment to celebrate the victor over the vanquished, but the coming of a new peaceful order that replaces war. At the end of the text, the author reveals the potential for rethinking victory contained within Orthodox Christian ethics of war. In analyzing theological literature and folklore, the author detects in them an interpretation of victory that is not connected with the glorification of the victor. Rather, what is discussed is regret about victory in connection with the necessity of using violence to achieve it and the denial of one’s role in it, as it would be impossible without divine intervention. Victory thus becomes a spiritual manifestation of humility and adherence to nonviolent commandments. Such an approach is normatively remarkable, as it requires mercy from the winner and helps mitigate the consequences of the conflict.
