东正教与当代俄罗斯国民信仰及自我认同

The Orthodox Church, Faith and Self-Identity in Contemporary Russia

在苏联解体后20多年来的当代俄罗斯社会,东正教在各个方面均得到了复兴和发展。皈依东正教的俄罗斯国民人数不断增长,教会组织迅速扩大,东正教的社会影响力不断加强。然而,在探究俄罗斯国民东正教信仰状况时会发现,东正教追随者与信仰者并不完全重合。这一现象反映的是东正教对俄罗斯国民精神、心理及民族文化自我认同上的影响力和作用力。

For nearly 20 years, the Eastern Orthodox has been reviving and developing in all aspects. The number of Russians, who declared their belonging to Orthodox, is increasing. The Eastern Orthodox Church has expanded rapidly. The social influences of Orthodox have been continuously strengthening as well. Nevertheless, when exploring the Orthodox belief of Russians, we can find that the Orthodox followers and believers cannot express the same concept. The phenomenon reflects influences of the Orthodox on Russian national spirits, psychology, national and cultural self-identity.
