Description

In post-Soviet Russia, morality has become a multifaceted concept, influenced by various religious traditions. This ethnographically based volume explores the intersection of religion and morality in Russian society, examining how different faiths have shaped moral discourses and practices. The contributors reveal that while religion plays a significant role in shaping morality, it is often intertwined with political and economic factors. The Russian Orthodox Church's increasing influence on government policy highlights this complex relationship. This book provides a nuanced understanding of the diverse ways in which religion informs moral values and practices in Russia today. By examining the various social domains where religion intersects with morality, such as business practices and individual health, this volume offers insights into the complex and multifaceted nature of morality in post-Soviet Russia.
