This article presents a microhistorical study of a provincial Russian Orthodox priest Nikolai Petrov's life, through the lens of his wife Nadezhda Yakovetskaya's memoir. Dated 1970, her letter is a valuable source for understanding the fate of Russian clergy after 1917. The biography of Petrov as “an ordinary man” from rural intelligentsia, reflects all the ...

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
the 18th and 19th centuries cases of exorcism were rare, for a time it was even banned
by the state. Before the revolution the fashion on exorcism began, at the same time
enlightened ...

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 author argues that faith is not given and predefined, and instead should be seen as a long and complicated process of “real-making”—the individual’s effort to ...

The coronavirus pandemic proved to be a challenge for anthropologists as well for those they study. 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 ...

The COVID-19 pandemic led to major lockdowns over the world in 2020. This situation severely limited the possibility of several social activities, including religious gatherings. In Russia, the peak of the pandemic coincided with the central period in the Orthodox calendar – the last week of Lent and Easter. As the Patriarch blessed stay-at-home politics, churches ...

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. This is evidenced by the specific attitudes of the Sharia and Muslim custom in the Caucasus. The controversy about the corporeal in Islam sheds light ...

The Soviet authorities applied the most rigid model of state-confessional relations—segregation—to the Russian Orthodox Church. They emphasized the complete exclusion of the church from public life and its subsequent liquidation. By 1919 the Church was already publicly avoiding conflict with the Soviet authorities; its attempts at adaptation, however, were unsuccessful. By 1939, the church organization ...

The COVID-19 pandemic seems to have paused the alliance of the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church. When the government announced lockdown measures and demanded that all churches cease services with the public, not all priests agreed to comply. The church-state crisis manifested in two divisions: between the Church and the state, between pragmatists and ...
