The 2010s saw an introduction of legislative acts about religion,
sexuality, and culture in Russia, which caused an uproar of
protests. They politicised areas of life commonly perceived as
private and expected to be free of the state's control. As a
result, political activism and radical grassroots movements engaged
many Russians in controversies about religion and culture and
polarised popular opinion in the capitals and regions alike. This
volume presents seven case studies which probe into the politics of
religion and culture in today's Russia. The contributions highlight
the diversity of Russia's religious communities and cultural
practices by analysing Hasidic Jewish identities, popular culture
sponsored by the Orthodox Church, literary mobilisation of the
National Bolshevik Party, cinematic narratives of the Chechen wars,
militarisation of political Orthodoxy, and moral debates caused by
opera as well as film productions. The authors draw on a variety of
theoretical approaches and methodologies, including opinion
surveys, ethnological fieldwork, narrative analysis, Foucault's
conceptualisation of biopower, catachrestic politics, and
sociological theories of desecularisation. The volumes contributors
are Sanna Turoma, Kaarina Aitamurto, Tomi Huttunen, Susan Ikonen,
Boris Knorre, Irina Kotkina, Jussi Lassila, Andrey Makarychev,
Elena Ostrovskaya, and Mikhail Suslov.
