Exploring the significant influence of Russian Orthodoxy on the fall of Soviet Communism and the emergence of Russian nationalism, this book highlights how the Orthodox Church's moral authority played a crucial role in overcoming the 1991 coup against Gorbachev. The authors detail the pivotal actions of Patriarch Aleksy II, a former KGB officer, who is shaping a new national identity reflective of the church's values amidst a search for a meaningful past in post-Soviet Russia.
