Incarnation

воплощение is the settled and doctrinally precise Orthodox and Protestant term alike; Orthodox icon theology in fact gives incarnation an unusually high cultural profile in Russia (the icon is theologically justified because God took a visible human body). Risk is low for confusion with a rival concept, but аватар must still be explicitly flagged as forbidden given increasing exposure to Hindu/New-Age terminology in contemporary Russian pop-spirituality.
