Well, my entire point in the first place is that orthodoxy rarely does and has never done anything at all to "protect society", except on moral issues, because they view that entirely as being the affair of heads of state. Except, as I said, Kirill who talks about these things all the time. The reason why orthodoxy does not intervene in anything secular is because the eastern Roman empire survived and the western Roman empire did not, the Latin rite had to carve out its existence, its legitimacy, and unite separated tribes, whereas the eastern church (neither were in schism yet) had an existing state, a powerful one, that supported its proliferation. So the church never needed to do anything at all, everything was naturally handled by political leaders and this was the same in Russia (until tsar Peter at least).

Moreover, the Ukraine had already been undergoing a decade of "de-Russification" at that point. It didn't exactly take much for the ukrainian authorities to get the people to submit to doing this when they had already primed them for supporting anything as long as it's against Russia (and Ukrainians are really like this. You could tell them to stab themselves in the eyes as a protest against Russia and they most likely would do so). And Ukrainians have been like this since before the war even began.

The main issue with orthodoxy is this: it is far too insular and unadapting (ironically the same reason its still relatively un-jewed). Its desire to stay out of all secular affairs worked perfectly well for them in the past when they had heads of state that supported them, were orthodox, and enacted laws that the church agreed with. It even ensured their unlikely survival during the USSR, with the CPSU eventually viewing the patriarchate as an effective non-issue, but now? The church should take a more active role in political matters. I myself pointed out the same flaw that you are.
