| Summary: | Sophie Kotzer’s Russian Orthodoxy, Nationalism and the Soviet State During the Gorbachev Years, 1985-1991 provides readers with a welcome study of the Russian Orthodox Church and its relationship with the Soviet state during the years of perestroika. Kotzer’s contribution brings needed light to a time period in Church history that has largely been overlooked. In focusing on the Gorbachev period, Kotzer gives the reader a useful historical account that helps to elucidate the direction the Church has taken in the past three decades and the origins of its contemporary influence in Russian society. |
