The course surveys both the history and the contemporary situation of the Russian Orthodox Church and its relation to the Russian State. During the course we discuss the church’s rising political influence and the role of Patriarch Kirill I (Gundiaev) in this process, ROC’s role within the Russian military, and the phenomenon of “political orthodoxy”. We pay special attention to the rise of radical nationalistic orthodox groups, and the ROC’s prosecution of some art exhibition and performances during the last decade.
The course is organized in cooperation with Aleksanteri Institute's Russian and East European Master's School.
This course, jointly organized by English Philology and Russian

landscapes of computer-mediated communication and tools for the
linguistic and discursive analysis of multicultural phenomena.

essay.
