RELIGION EXPRESSION AND PATRIOTISM IN RUSSIA - ...

The 2010s saw an introduction of legislative acts about religion  sexuality  and culture in
Russia  which caused an uproar of protests. They politicized areas of life commonly perceived
as private and expected to be free of the state's control. As a result  political activism and
radical grassroots movements engaged many Russians in controversies about religion and culture
and polarized popular opinion in the capitals and regions alike. This volume presents seven
case studies which probe into the politics of religion and culture in today's Russia. The
contributions highlight the diversity of Russia's religious communities and cultural practices
by analyzing Hasidic Jewish identities  popular culture sponsored by the Orthodox Church 
literary mobilization of the National Bolshevik Party  cinematic narratives of the Chechen wars
militarization of political Orthodoxy  and moral debates caused by opera as well as film
productions. The authors draw on a variety of theoretical approaches and methodologies 
including opinion surveys  ethnological fieldwork  narrative analysis  Foucault's
conceptualization of biopower  catachrestic politics  and sociological theories of
desecularization. The volume's contributors are Sanna Turoma  Kaarina Aitamurto  Tomi Huttunen
Susan Ikonen  Boris Knorre  Irina Kotkina  Jussi Lassila  Andrey Makarychev  Elena Ostrovskaya
and Mikhail Suslov.
