The Theory of the Third Rome in the Moscow Orthodox Church after the Last War: Paris, Vydannia pershoi ukrainskoi drukarni u Frantsii [Publication of the First Ukrainian Printing House in France], 1957, 30 p.

In his work, Blokhin analyzes the position of the Moscow Orthodox Church in the USSR that emerged after World War II. He calls the relationship between church and state “a symphony”: the autocratic structure of the church aids in fulfilling the political needs and objectives of the Communist Party of the USSR. One of the Moscow Orthodox Church's tasks in international politics was to present the USSR as a global center of spirituality, for which the theory of the "Third Rome" was actively utilized.

The main manifestations of the narrative of "Moscow as the Third Rome" are the ideas of: 1) the divine chosenness of the Russian people; 2) the superiority of the Moscow Orthodox Church over all other Christian denominations and Orthodox parishes; and 3) the global triumph of the Russian spirit and Russian Orthodoxy. Blokhin believes this mythologem is effective, but threatening to the spiritual life of Europe.
