“Conservative” voting in Russia: the religiosity and the political choice of orthodox believers
East European Politics. 2023. Vol. 39. No. 2. P. 240–259.
Existing studies leave open many questions about the link between religiosity and the conservative political attitudes of Orthodox believers in Russia. This article employs qualitative research to highlight the role of religiosity in individual political choice. The empirical material was collected during interviews with believers in Lipetsk Oblast in 2019–2020. The results of the study revealed three types of conservative choice, depending on an individual’s level of religiosity. Although religious beliefs and practices play different roles at different levels of religiosity, they are not crucial to believers’ political choices.

Обзор зарубежных исследований показывает, что доброжелательность и добросовестность положительно коррелируют с религиозностью, в то время как открытость опыту демонстрирует отрицательную связь. Исследования также указывают на отрицательные взаимосвязи между религиозностью и чертами «Тёмной триады», такими как психопатия и макиавеллизм. Связи религиозности ...

The author highlights its limitations: the eclectic nature of the concept of religiosity, the cultural specificity of measurement tools, and the inability to reconstruct the dynamic organization of a believer's personality. As an alternative, a ...
