Religion and magic have played important roles within Eastern
European societies where social reality and socio-political balance
may differ greatly from those in the West. Although often thought
of as being two distinct, even antagonistic forces, religion and
magic find ways to work together. By taking on various examples in
the multicultural settings of post-Soviet and post-socialist
spaces, this collection brings together diverse historical and
ethnographic analyses of orthodoxy and heterodoxy from the pre- and
post-1989 periods, studies on the relationship of religious and
state institutions to individuals practicing alternative forms of
spirituality, and examples of borderlands as spaces of ambiguity.
This volume is at the crossroads of anthropology, history, as well
as cultural memory studies. Its archival and field research results
help us understand how repurposing religious and magic practices
worked into the transition that countries in Eastern Europe and
beyond have experienced after the end of the Cold War.
