Routledge - Paganism, Traditionalism, Nationalism: Rodnoverie

Explore the complex landscape of post-Soviet religious and political life with this scholarly study from Routledge. As one of the first new religious movements to emerge after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Rodnovers provide a unique perspective on the changing social structures in Russia. This book examines how Rodnovers link their religious beliefs directly to social and political issues. Unlike many Western Pagan movements that follow liberal values, this study looks at the conservative and nationalist movements associated with Rodnoverie. It tracks how traditional anti-Western and anti-Semitic rhetoric has shifted in recent years, specifically noting the rise of anti-Islam sentiments within these groups. Part of the Studies in Contemporary Russia series, this work is an essential resource for those interested in anthropology, sociology, and the intersection of religion and nationalism. It offers a deep look into how these narratives shape modern Russian identity and political discourse.
