I was watching the movie "Luther," and it got me thinking: upon the havoc Luther lead to, how did the orthodox peoples respond? Did Moscow react? Was there an upswing in converts to orthodoxy? Thanks in advance!
The contacts between the reformers and the Greek orthodox clergy are covered here.
The reaction on Luther in Moscow is covered here.
In both replies you've got no mention of the political dimensions.
At first the tsar tried to bridge the gap (his main adversary at that time was Poland-Lithuania and it was catholic) by reforming the Russian church in line with Luther's Criticism (it happened to increase his power.), but would later be disappointed and denied the protestants the status even as heretics (and, therefore, part-christians). His final break with them, it should be said, arrived together with a Swedish army in the Russian north. Now, the Greek Orthodox clergy was pretty glad with the recognition it received under the Ottomans (as judges and as tax collectors in the Orthodox community) and would have absolutely loved an upswing in catholic, armenian or oriental converts; but they naturally couldn't concede any tenets of faith (the protestants attacks on professional clergy especially didn't sit well).
