Focusing on the roles of Russian Orthodoxy and Islam in
constituting, challenging and changing national and ethnic
identities in Russia, this study takes Tsarist and Soviet legacies
into account, paying special attention to the evolution of the
relationship between religious teachings and political institutions
through the late 19th and 20th centuries. The volume explicitly
discusses and compares the role of Russia's two major religions,
Orthodoxy and Islam, in forging identity in the modern era and
brings an innovative blend of sociological, historical, linguistic
and geographic scholarship to the problem of post-Soviet Russian
identity. This comprehensive volume is suitable for courses on
post-Soviet politics, Russian studies, religion and political
culture.
