What is it about?

The first two volumes of this projected seven-volume series offer a detailed, first-hand look at the actual operations of the Russian Orthodox Church in post-Soviet Russia. Sergei Filatov and his team of researchers provide a rare view at actual practices, church and state relationships, and a changing religious landscape. The volumes published thus far counter many stereotypes about these subjects.
