This book examines the revival of Church Slavonic - the iconic language of Russian Orthodoxy - in the post-communist period. Using Slavonic as a passkey into various topics, it explores contemporary social and cultural developments in Russia such as the renewal and factionalism of the Orthodox Church; the recovery of pre-revolutionary traditions; and the debates about protecting Russia from Western cults and culture.
