Russian Orthodoxy Resurgent is the first book to fully explore the expansive and illunderstood role that Russias ancient Christian faith has played in the fall of Soviet Communism and in the rise of Russian nationalism today. John and Carol Garrard tell the story of how the Orthodox Churchs moral weight helped defeat the 1991 coup against Gorbachev launched by Communist Party hardliners. The Soviet Union disintegrated, leaving Russians searching for a usable past. The Garrards reveal how Patriarch Aleksy IIa former KGB officer and the man behind the churchs successful defeat of the coupis reconstituting a new national idea in the churchs own image.In the new Russia, the former KGB who run the countryVladimir Putin among themproclaim the cross, not the hammer and sickle. Meanwhile, a majority of Russians now embrace the Orthodox faith with unprecedented fervor. The Garrards trace how Aleksy orchestrated this transformation, positioning his church to inherit power once held by the Communist Party and to become the dominant ethos of the military and government. They show how the revived church under Aleksy prevented mass violence during the postSoviet turmoil, and how Aleksy astutely linked the church with the army and melded Russian patriotism and faith.Russian Orthodoxy Resurgent argues that the West must come to grips with this complex and contradictory resurgence of the Orthodox faith, because it is the hidden force behind Russias domestic and foreign policies today.

I was really looking forward to this book, but I found it confusing and poorly organized. The ideas didn't flow well, and it left me more puzzled about the subject than informed. Definitely not what I expected from a work on such an important topic.

Interesting but a Bit Dense
While 'Resurgent Faith and Power' has some great points, I felt it got a bit heavy at times. The author's depth of knowledge is impressive, but some sections were hard to follow. Still, worth picking up if you're into religious studies!
