Series: Routledge Religion, Society and Government in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet States

This book explores the tensions that have arisen in the diaspora as a result of large numbers of Russian migrants entering established overseas parishes following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

These tensions, made more fervent by the increasing role of the Church as part of the expression of Russian identity and by the Church’s entry into the global ‘culture wars’, carry with them alternative views of a range of key issues – cosmopolitanism versus reservation, liberalism versus conservatism and ecumenism versus dogmatism.

The book focuses on particular disputes, discusses the broader debates and examines the wider context of how the Russian Orthodox Church is evolving overall.

Reviews for Global Tensions in the Russian Orthodox Diaspora

A timely, revealing and important study of the religious conflicts between Moscow and the Orthodox abroad. Professor Orlando Figes An even-handed analysis of a complex and polarised subject. The divisions between Russia and the West are dissected from the minutia of daily life to macrocosmic rhetoric whilst the author's multi-disciplinary approach makes for compelling reading.
