Russian Orthodoxy and Secularism surveys the ways in which the
Russian Orthodox Church has negotiated its relationship with the
secular state, with other religions, and with Western modernity
from its beginnings until the present. It applies multiple
theoretical perspectives and draws on different disciplinary
approaches to explain the varied and at times contradictory facets
of Russian Orthodoxy as a state church or as a critic of the state,
as a lived religion or as a civil religion controlled by the state,
as a source of dissidence during Communism or as a reservoir of
anti-Western, anti-modernist ideas that celebrate the uniqueness
and superiority of the Russian nation. Kristina Stoeckl argues
that, three decades after the fall of Communism, the period of
post-Soviet transition is over for Russian Orthodoxy and that the
Moscow Patriarchate has settled on its role as national church and
provider of a new civil religion of traditional values.
