A pivotal period in Russian history, the Time of Troubles in the
early seventeenth century has taken on new resonance in the
country's post-Soviet search for new national narratives. The
historical role of the Orthodox Church has emerged as a key theme
in contemporary remembrances of this time-but what precisely was
that role? The first comprehensive study of the Church during the
Troubles, Orthodox Russia in Crisis reconstructs this tumultuous
time, offering new interpretations of familiar episodes while
delving deep into the archives to uncover a much fuller picture of
the era. Analyzing these sources, Isaiah Gruber argues that the
business activity of monasteries played a significant role in the
origins and course of the Troubles and that frequent changes in
power forced Church ideologues to innovate politically, for example
inventing new justifications for power to be granted to the people
and to royal women. These new ideas, Gruber contends, ultimately
helped bring about a new age in Russian spiritual life and a
crystallization of the national mentality.
