The book examines deep shifts in religious life of Russia and the post-Soviet world as a whole over the course of the last quarter of the century. It deals with transformations of the religious field, including ritual practices, national identity discourse, and Eastern Orthodoxy’s tense negotiations with the State, secular society, and Western liberal globalism.
The book examines deep shifts in the religious life of Russia and the post-Soviet world as a whole. The author uses combined methods of history, sociology and anthropology to grasp transformations in various aspects of the religious field, such as changes in ritual practices, the emergence of a hierarchical pluralism of religions, and a new prominence of religion in national identity discourse. He deals with the Russian Church’s new internal diversity in reinventing its ancient tradition and Eastern Orthodoxy’s dense and tense negotiation with the State, secular society and Western liberal globalism. The volume contains academic papers, some of them co-authored with other scholars, published by the author elsewhere within the last fifteen years.
