Church Slavonic - the traditional language of the Russian Orthodox Church - has enjoyed a strong revival in the post-Soviet period, as has the Russian Orthodox Church itself. This book examines the revival of Church Slavonic, relating it to a wide range of contemporary social and cultural developments in contemporary Russia, including debates about protecting Russia from western cults and culture, debates about recovering pre-revolutionary traditions and articulating Russian/Orthodox identities, and to factionalism and renewal within the Orthodox Church. It thereby explores the revival of orthodoxy in Russia not from the standpoint of ecclesiastical politics or church-state relations, but rather through the myths, rituals, symbols, texts and discourses that span both official and popular religion in post-Soviet Russia. As such the book will be of great interest to scholars of sociolinguisitcs and of religion, as well as to Russian studies specialists.
