What are Russian spiritual and moral values?

This question is answered the Executive Order On approving the Fundamentals of State Policy to Preserve and Strengthen Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values

November 12, 2022

...
4. Traditional values are the moral precepts shaping Russian citizens’ worldview, handed down from one generation to another and forming the foundation of Russia’s national civic identity and the country’s single cultural space, as well as reinforcing civic unity, and they are reflected in the unique and authentic spiritual, historical and cultural development path of Russia’s multi-ethnic people.

5. Traditional values include life, dignity, human rights and freedoms, patriotism, civic consciousness, service to the Fatherland and responsibility for its destiny, high moral ideals, strong families, productive labour, the primacy of the spiritual over corporeal, humanism, charity, justice, collectivism, mutual assistance and mutual respect, historical memory and the continuity of generations, as well as the unity of Russia’s peoples.

6. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, and other religions which are an integral part of Russia’s historical and spiritual heritage have had a considerable influence on the emergence of the traditional values shared by believers and non-believers alike. The Orthodox faith has played a special role in the emergence and strengthening of traditional values.
...

13. Threats to traditional values come from extremist and terrorist organisations, some news media and communication platforms, the actions of the United States and other unfriendly foreign states, several transnational corporations and foreign NGOs, as well as the activities of some organisations and individuals in the territory of Russia.

14. Ideological and psychological influences on citizens are leading to the dissemination of a system of ideas and values that are alien to the Russian people and destructive for Russian society (hereinafter referred to as “destructive ideology”), such as the fostering of egoism, permissiveness and immorality, rejection of the ideals of patriotism, service to the Fatherland, the natural progression of life, the values of a strong family, marriage, raising multiple children, productive labour, and Russia’s positive contribution to global history and culture, as well as the erosion of the traditional family through the promotion of non-traditional sexual identities.
...
17. The dissemination of destructive ideology entails the following risks:

a) emergence of conditions for the self-destruction of society and the erosion of family, friendship and other social ties;

b) accelerated socio-cultural stratification, decline of the role of social partnership, and devaluation of the ideas of productive labour and mutual assistance;

c) damage to the moral health of the people, imposition of concepts that disregard human dignity and the value of human life;

d) promotion of antisocial behaviour, dissolute lifestyles, permissiveness and violence, growing alcoholism and drug addiction;

e) emergence of a society that rejects spiritual and moral values;

f) distortion of historical truth and erosion of historical memory;

g) rejection of Russian authenticity, weakening of the national civic identity and cohesion of the multi-ethnic Russian people, development of conditions for interethnic and interfaith conflicts;

h) erosion of confidence in government institutions, discreditation of the idea of service to the Fatherland, and development of a negative attitude to military service and government service in general.

Well, at least the ark of salvation from LGBT and other Western social inventions has appeared in the world.

As far as I know, there are no other countries in the world ready to accept you just because you are running away from LGBT people in horror.

However, we must wait until the Russian Foreign Ministry provides a list of countries from which we are ready to accept such people.

Yes, they will stay as fertiliser unless Ukrainian dictator Zelensky exchange them for civilian hostages.

No.

This means that Russia is now becoming a defender of Christian values against the new liberal values in the world.

I doubt he is fooling anyone. Putting aside the issue of starting a pointless war, there is also plenty of direct persecution of Christians:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians_in_the_Soviet_Union

Throughout the history of the Soviet Union (1917–1991), there were periods when Soviet authorities suppressed and persecuted various forms of Christianity to different extents depending on state interests.[1] Soviet Marxist-Leninist policy consistently advocated the control, suppression, and ultimately, the elimination of religious beliefs, and it actively encouraged the propagation of Marxist-Leninist atheism in the Soviet Union.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is accompanied with a strategic effort to repress, control, and crush religious groups outside of the Kremlin controlled Moscow Patriarchate, the Russian Orthodox Church. There are over thirty cases of religious clergy killed and kidnapped. 109 known cases of interrogations, forced expulsions, imprisonments, arrests. 600 houses of worship destroyed. And these are just the confirmed numbers, with the real ones in information blackout of the occupied territories will much likely be higher.
