Orthodoxy has achieved a large scale revival in Russia following
the collapse of Communism. However, paradoxically, although there
is a high level of identification with Orthodoxy, there is in fact
a low level of church attendance. This book, based on in depth
ethnographic fieldwork, explores the social background and moral
attitudes of the "little flock" of believers who actively
participate in religious life. It reveals that the complex moral
beliefs of the faithful have a disproportionately high impact on
Russian society overall; that among the faithful there is a strong
emphasis on striving for personal perfection; but that also there
are strong collective ideas concerning religious nationalism and
the synergy between the secular and the religious.
