Following the end of the Soviet Union, the Russian Orthodox Church
has canonized a great number of Russian saints. Whereas in the
first millennium of Russian Christianity (988-1988) the Church
recognized merely 300 Russian saints, the number had grown to more
than 2,000 by 2006. This book explores the remarkable phenomenon of
new Russian martyrdom. It outlines the process of canonization,
examines how saints are venerated, and relates all this to the ways
in which the Russian state and its people have chosen to remember
the Soviet Union and commemorate the victims of its purges. The
book includes in-depth case studies of particular saints and
examines the diverse ways in which they are venerated.
