Multiple Moralities and Religions in Post-Soviet Russia
In the post-Soviet period morality became a debatable concept, open to a multitude of expressions and performances. From Russian Orthodoxy to Islam, from shamanism to Protestantism, religions of various kinds provided some of the first possible alternative moral discourses and practices after the end of the Soviet system. This influence remains strong today. Within the Russian context, religion and morality intersect in such social domains as the…
Religion and Politics in Contemporary Russia
Based on extensive original research at the local level, this book explores the relationship between Russian Orthodoxy and politics in contemporary Russia. It reveals close personal links between politicians at the local, regional and national levels and their counterparts at the equivalent level in the Russian Orthodox Church – priests and monks, bishops and archbishops – who are extensively consulted about political decisions. It outlines a con…
Orthodox Religion and Politics in Contemporary Eastern Europe
Patriotism, Orthodox religion and education
In recent years, an objective of some Russian Orthodox activists and Church leaders has been the introduction of religious education in state schools which was established in Russia in 2012, following a 2009 Presidential Directive. Today, however, there are two different strands in religious education. On the one hand, there is the state’s emphasis on the bonds between Orthodox Christianity and Russian history, culture and identity. Based on this…
Practising Without Belonging? Entrepreneurship, Morality, and Religion in Contemporary Russia
Inspired by Max Weber’s Protestant ethic thesis, this book examines the intersection of Russia’s economic transformation and religious revival in the sphere of morality. As revealed through the ethnographic study of businessmen in the city of Vladimir, the relations between Church and state, politics and religion, and belief and practice, are deeply ambiguous. Businessmen experience social and political pressure to practise Russian Orthodoxy, and…
Businessmen, Priests and Parishes
Beginning in the late socialist years, the religious situation in Soviet Union changed massively and local authors from Vladimir region describe this phenomenon as religious rebirth (vozrozhdenie). The believersoften have long-term relationships with individual priests to whom they turn for various blessings, confessions, and forms of spiritual advice, including the interpretation of dreams. The advice and interpretations given by priests differ …
Ritual and commemoration in contemporary Russia
Since state atheism was abandoned in the 1990s, the Russian Federation entered what can be called a postsecular phase. Religion, formerly limited to the private sphere, reappeared in the public and underwent an astonishing religious revival. During the time of my fieldwork in 2006/2007, a tendency to favor the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) and to facilitate its return to the public reached its climax. In this article I draw attention to how the p…
Spreading grace’ in post‐Soviet Russia (Respond to this article at http
The article addresses the revival of Russian Orthodoxy as a prominent domain in the lives of many Russians. The six authors are interested in the underlying question: What makes Russian Orthodoxy a relevent and modern source of morality and identity? The circumstances of this branch of Christianity significantly differ from what has been discussed in recent years as ‘the anthropology of Christianity’. The article proposes a thematic approach in o…
