Russia’s Image in Religious Studies

Author(s)
O. D. Agapov, M. N. Rashkin
Abstract
The aim of this article is to conceptualize the processes of constitution and institutionalization of Russia’s image by the Russian academic community at the beginning of the 21st century. I focus on the role of religious studies in the production of the concept of Russia as a nation with successful practices of religious pluralism, with a developing model of a post-secular society where religious communities are seen as part of civic society that can serve as one of the foundations for Russia’s civilization state’s stability as a commonwealth of peoples with different religious identities. Knowledge produced by religious studies will, in our opinion, only become more significant for the task of determining Russia’s civilizational strategy in the 21st century, including both theory and methodology, and practice.
