After the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917, Orthodox
Christians in Estonia and Latvia had to rethink their place in
society and reorganise the local Orthodox Church. The Church was
challenged both by the new political circumstances and by societal
antagonism. In both cases, the local ecclesiastic authorities
considered themselves independent from the Patriarchate of Moscow,
although in very different fashions. This study uses primarily
periodicals and other published sources from the period between
1917 and 1940 to shed light on the internal discussions in the
respective Orthodox Churches on issues of authority, identity, and
history. This includes creating adequate structures for the Church,
reforming liturgical elements and emphasising the positive role of
Orthodox Christianity in Estonian and Latvian history.
