The article explores the relationship between Orthodox religiosity and voting in Russia in 2011–2021. Using the theoretical framework of de-secularization from above which claims that church structures play a key role in the religious renaissance policy, we argue that the rise of the political inguence of the ROC (Russian Orthodox Church) may be explained by ...

The practice of exorcism came to Russia in the 17th century, when the
Catholic rite was included in orthodox prayer books by metropolitan Peter Mogila. In

Tanya Luhrmann’s new book is a great example of an academic text turning into a bestseller. The book, based on many years of fieldwork, addresses the issue of faith.

The classical anthropological method of participant observation under quarantine restrictions turned out to be nearly impossible, which has jeopardized many researchers’ fieldwork. At the same time, due to sanitary and epidemiological restrictions, the regular spiritual life of the Churikovtsy ...

Material in the broad sense of the word, including body, things, space of mosque, holy places (Arabic. mazar, ziyarat) and other tangible objects are an important component of Muslim religiosity.
