Based on extensive original research at the local level, this book
explores the relationship between Russian Orthodoxy and politics in
contemporary Russia. It reveals close personal links between
politicians at the local, regional and national levels and their
counterparts at the equivalent level in the Russian Orthodox Church
- priests and monks, bishops and archbishops - who are extensively
consulted about political decisions. It outlines a convergence of
conservative ideology between politicians and clerics and also
highlights that, despite working closely together, there are
nevertheless many tensions. The book examines in detail particular
areas of cooperation and tension: reform to religious education and
a growing emphasis on traditional moral values, the restitution of
former church property and the introduction of new festive days.
Overall, the book concludes that there is much uncertainty,
ambiguity and great local variation.
