Mariology on the margins: The case study of Orthodox activists Tat’iana Goricheva and Zoia Krakhmal’nikova in the late USSR
“Angel with the Trumpet”: Participation of Students in the Preservation of Historical and Cultural Heritage in the 1960s–80s (the Case of the Mephist Restorers)
The main focus in our article is paid to mass, primarily student initiatives for the preservation of historical and cultural heritage in the late USSR. The emergence of a discourse on “cultural heritage” and awareness of the importance of heritage preservation helped attract students to the restoration movement, as did systematic funding of restoration work. The popularity of the student restoration movement, combined with an interest in the hist…

“For Us, He Became a Bright Ray of Hope.” The Tradition of Writing Letters to the Roman Pontiff by the Soviet Believers
The article explores the history of attempts initiated by believers within the Soviet Union to establish communication with Western Christians through letters or appeals addressed to the Pope. The authors identify and trace the tradition of appeals to the Roman Pontiff, which started at the beginning of the Soviet period, during the Civil War, and ceased existence during perestroika. Orthodox hierarchs and priests, as well as ordinary believers, …
Religious Symbolism and Political Resistance: Navalny's Martyr Narrative in the Russian Opposition
The death of Russian dissident Alexey Navalny in a far-northern colony after three years of imprisonment was declared a martyrdom by the Russian opposition, reflecting the sentiments of a part of Russian society. This unexpected reference to martyr narrative by a largely secular and anti-clerical opposition has set a significant precedent when religious discourse is instrumentalized not only by official propaganda but also by its critics. The aut…
Blasphemy and Violence during the Russian Revolution and the Early Years of the Soviet Union
This article analyzes incidents of blasphemy that occurred both during and in the period immediately following the Russian Revolution. The debate on blasphemy in revolutionary Russia was initially tied to the political system and ecclesiastical structure of the Romanov Empire. One possible explanation for this anomaly is the political discourse of a “victorious revolution”, according to which revolutionary turmoil had birthed a modern, progressiv…
Anti-Cult Movement and Religious Freedom for Religious Minorities in the Russian Arctic
In this article, using the example of the Russian Arctic, we analyze how the anti-cult movement creates the conditions for the discrimination and suppression of religious minorities. The anti-cultist (anti-sectarian) fears and phobias of the Russian establishment are closely bound to the fears of missionary activity. The change in legislation regulating missionary activity deliberately limits the activities of those religious communities, which, …
Anti-Communism and Soviet Evangelicals in the 1960–1970s: Metamorphoses of Relations during the Cold War
The article examines the international activity of the leaders of the official All-Union Council of Evangelical Christians-Baptists (VSKHB) at the turn of the 1960s–1970s, which was carried out under the conditions of control and regulation by state authorities. The leadership of the denomination was forced to prove the “usefulness” of its existence; contacts of Baptist Christians from different countries could bring such benefits. The main form …
“You Can Even Write to the Pope”. The Practice of Writing Letters to the Roman Pontiff by the Soviet Believers
The Soviet Presence in the Middle East in the Context of the Unfolding Cold War: Church Institutions and Actors of Influence in Palestine in 1940–50th
The Soviet diplomacy in the second half of the 1940s included the Russian Orthodox Church and its institutions of international presence in its sphere of activity. At that time the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) began to play a significant role in the Soviet Union's foreign policy. The Middle Eastern direction becomes one of the most significant areas of “church diplomacy”. The first visit of Patriarch Alexy (Simanskiy) to the Holy Land in 1945 wa…
Everyday Life of the Russian Nuns in the Holy Land at the Time of Changes in the Middle East, 1940s-1950s
This study aims at providing an overview of the everyday life of Russian nuns in Palestine after World War II. This research encompassed the following tasks: to analyze the range of ego-documents available today, characterizing the everyday life and internal motivation of women in choosing the church jurisdiction; to identify, on the basis of written sources, the most active supporters of the Moscow Patriarchate to examine the nuns' activity as i…
The Christian Foundations of Fritz Jahr’s Concept of Bio-Ethik and Contemporary Central European Perspective
The article presents the concept of Bio-Ethik by the German theologian Fritz Jahr (1895–1953) and discusses the reasons of the interest to his legacy in Central Europe. The popularity of Fritz Jahr’s works fits into the specific context of a complex development of bioethics in Central Europe at the turn of the twenty-first century. The appeal to Fritz Jahr’s ideas in the field of bioethics allows us to assess the contribution of Christian thinker…
Female Religious Leadership during Khrushchev’s Anti-Religious Campaign
This article considers female leadership in Evangelical Baptist communities in the postwar period. The authors examine the extent to which the division of roles in religious communities was gender-dependent and how contemporaries perceived and described the roles of men and women in Baptist communities. The authors refer to materials from the town of Rasskazovo (a centre of Tambov region); there, the community of Baptists was led by Antonina Tere…

Leadership, communication, and conflicts among evangelicals: Analysis of relations in religious communities in the late USSR
This article examines one aspect of the life of the evangelical communities of the USSR (Baptists and Pentecostals) which found themselves gathered into a single prayer space, as a result of state religious policy that aimed to neutralize and unify them. The authors explore the internal history of this association. Forced to unite under pressure from the Stalinist regime (indeed, Pentecostals were declared an unacceptable movement by the authorit…

Protestant women in the late Soviet era: Gender, authority, and dissent
At the peak of the anti-religious campaigns under Nikita Khrushchev, \ncommunist propaganda depicted women believers as either naïve \ndupes, tricked by the clergy, or as depraved fanatics; the Protestant \n“sektantka” (female sectarian) was a particularly prominent folk-devil. \nIn fact, as this article shows, women’s position within Protestant \ncommunities was far more complex than either of these mythical \nfigures would have one believe. The…
