RT Book T1 The tsar's foreign faiths: toleration and the fate of religious freedom in Imperial Russia T2 Oxford studies in modern European history A1 Werth, Paul W. 1968- LA English PP Oxford u.a. PB Oxford University Press YR 2014 ED 1. ed. UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/782472656 AB "The Russian Empire presented itself to its subjects and the world as an Orthodox state, a patron and defender of Eastern Christianity. Yet the tsarist regime also lauded itself for granting religious freedoms to its many heterodox subjects, making "religious toleration" a core attribute of the state's identity. The Tsar's Foreign Faiths show that the resulting tensions between the autocracy's commitments to Orthodoxy and its claims to toleration became a defining feature of the empire's religious order."-- AB "The Russian Empire presented itself to its subjects and the world as an Orthodox state, a patron and defender of Eastern Christianity.
