Itä-Ukraina, Venäjä, Nato ja ”länsi”
Arvioitu teos: Juha-Antero Puistola & Johanna Suhonen: Itä-Ukraina, lännen etuvartio. Docendo 2020. 240 s., kuvitettu. ISBN 952-291-824-6
Suomen juutalaisten vai Suomen juutalaispakolaisten tarina
Suomen juutalaisuuden historia on kokonaisuutena melko tutkimaton. Alan klassikko on Santeri Jacobssonin Taistelu ihmisoikeuksista (1951), jossa tekijä käsittelee juutalaisten asemaa Suomessa kansalaisoikeuksien myöntämisen ja toteutumisen näkökulmasta. Toinen kokonaisesitys aiheesta on Taimi Torvisen Kadimah (1989). Helsingin juutalainen seurakunta julkaisi vuonna 2006 Dan Kantorin ja muiden artikkelikokoelman Lechaim!, jossa juutalaiset ja ei-j…
Coercion, Cooperation, Conflicts and Contempt
The article is about the Swedish religious policy towards the Orthodox (a majority at first, a minority after the mid-1650s) and Orthodox-Lutheran relations at the grassroots level. It shows that in official Swedish policy, the highest authorities urged local functionaries to cautious and non-coercive treatment of the Orthodox, while the latter at times proposed, and partly tried to implement, a forced conversion of the Karelians. Grassroots rela…

The Traditional Model Does Not Explain Attitudes Toward Euthanasia
The debate about euthanasia is ongoing in several countries including Finland. However, there is a lack of information on current attitudes toward euthanasia among general Finnish public. The traditional model for predicting individuals' attitudes to euthanasia is based on their age, gender, educational level, and religiosity. However, a new evaluation of religiosity is needed due to the limited operationalization of this factor in previous studi…

The Russian Orthodox Church and atheism
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the religious tide in Russia has been quick to rise. During the Soviet era, religion - particularly Orthodox Christianity and Islam - was considered to be one of the 'enemies of the people'. Since the late 1990s however, Russian politicians at all levels of the power structure have associated themselves either with the Orthodox, or on some occasions with the Muslim, clergy. The present state of affa…
Healer, Welfare and ‘Limited Good’ in Orthodox Finnish Border Karelia in the Late 19th Century and Early 20th Century
The article introduces to readers the activities of healers among the Finnish Orthodox people of Border Karelia (located on the northern shores of Lake Ladoga). The period discussed here focuses on the two decades between the First and the Second World War. The activities of healers consisted of finding and explaining a problem (usually the cause of an illness), and finding a solution. In Border Karelia, the most common explanations for an illnes…

From Reality to Subject
Mircea Eliade is, or at least has been, the most heavily crticised scholar of religions. A number of critics have been discontented with his 'uncritical' way of using data to illustrate or assert his insights. It has been said that Eliade's presuppositions about the nature of reality and religion are not scientific but metaphysical or theological. Eliade's sympathisers, on the other hand, have tried to show that he does after all have a method, a…

Popular Orthodoxy, Official Church and State in Finnish Border Karelia before World War II
The culture generally known as Karelian emerged at the end of the first millennium AD on the western and the north-western coast of Lake Ladoga and was at its peak at the time of the crusades in 1100–1300. The Karelians had to defend their territory against the attacks of the inhabitants of Häme, later also against the Swedes and the predominantly Slavonic population of Novgorod. The nu-merous stongholds found in the region, which were used as re…
