Religious Pluralism and National Identity in Russia

Alexander Agadjanian

Read this article in English Also available in French Also available in Russian Abstract This article deals with the relationship between the Russian Orthodox religion and Russian national identity in the post-Soviet period. After an introductory historical outline, it addresses a number of questions relating to the issue of religious pluralism. It is argued that the "symbolic capital" of Russian Orthodoxy is incorporated in the "formulas of identity" in a number of different ways depending on their respective social and cultural carrier groups as well as on the "model of nation" to which they refer: civic, ethnic or imperial.
