Russian Society and the Orthodox Church examines the Russian
Orthodox Church's social and political role and its relationship to
civil society in post-Communist Russia. It shows how Orthodox
prelates, clergy and laity have shaped Russians' attitudes towards
religious and ideological pluralism, which in turn have influenced
the ways in which Russians understand civil society, including
those of its features - pluralism and freedom of conscience - that
are essential for a functioning democracy. It shows how the
official church, including the Moscow Patriarchate, has impeded the
development of civil society, while on the other hand the
non-official church, including nonconformist clergy and lay
activists, has promoted concepts central to civil society.
