This new initiative of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (Moscow) was undertaken with the goal of bringing Russian contributions to religious studies into dialogue with global developments in the field. Our parent journal, Gosudarstvo, religiia, tserkov’ v Rossii i za rubezhom (State, Religion and Church in Russia and Worldwide) is a cutting-edge peer-reviewed print quarterly published in Russian that features both original research and translations of seminal theoretical contributions to religious studies originally published elsewhere. It has thus emerged as a leader in the development of new directions in religious studies in post- Soviet Russia. State, Religion and Church, which will appear twice yearly, will complement the parent journal by publishing translations of original articles first published in Gosudarstvo, religiia, tserkov’. In addition, our translations of book reviews will provide a window into the state of the religious studies field in Russia that will be of interest to specialists focused on Russia and Eurasia as well as other scholars in religious studies. But our mission is also broader. Readers can anticipate a diverse array of topics, including both empirically and theoretically oriented contributions from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. In addition to publishing translations from Russian, we will also publish quality original articles written in English. Thematically, this current issue deals mostly with Russian religious thought and praxis. It examines problems of religious identity among Russian Orthodox Christians in secular and post-secular ideological 4 © state· religion · church From the editors environments in addition to exploring theoretical approaches to the concepts of secularism and post-secularism. Although the term was coined earlier, the concept of “post-secular society” has stimulated substantial and at times contentious discussion since its public invocation by Jürgen Habermas in his acceptance speech for the 2001 Peace Prize of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association. The debates surrounding post-secularism (whether as an empirical descriptive term or a set of normative assumptions) are perhaps especially relevant to contemporary Russia, where a militantly ideological secularist regime has been replaced by an order in which the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) has returned to a position of power and close collaboration with the secular (or not quite secular?) state authorities. Perhaps unsurprisingly in light of recent Russian history and the religious turn in the humanities and social sciences, religious life in the Soviet Union has become one of the hottest areas of inquiry in Russian studies both inside and outside Russia. In this issue of State, Religion and Church we bring you an original contribution in the form of Alexey Beglov’s historical and anthropological investigation of the evolution of practices associated with Holy Communion in the ROC from the late imperial period of Russian history through the entire Soviet period. Questions of proper religious practice (and who is allowed to define it) are also key to Dmitry Uzlaner’s interpretive study of materials generated by both state organs and civil society in connection with the Pussy Riot trial of 2012. This article, which speaks to the peculiarities of Russian post-secularism through the lens of the Pussy Riot affair, represents one of the first scholarly attempts to come to terms with this cause célèbre. Its close analysis, featuring many extended quotations, offers those unable to read Russian a glimpse into fascinating sources unavailable in English. The problematics of post-secularism link Uzlaner’s article to Alexander Kyrlezhev’s essay, which, written within the tradition of Russian religious philosophy, seeks a theoretical conception of religion suitable for a post-secular world. Meanwhile, Christopher Stroop embarks on an intellectual-historical search for specifically Russian origins of the post-secular moment, which he defines as characterized primarily by an intense confrontation with the problem of nihilism. Finally, sociologist of religion Dmitry Rogozin presents readers with his analysis of an empirical case study of religious identity among members of the older generation in the recently established Ivanovo Archdiocese. Just as Uzlaner’s study of the Pussy Riot phenomenon does, Vol.1(1) · 2014 5 From the editors Rogozin’s study sheds light on an important aspect of contemporary Russian religious life. The translated articles offered here are just a taste of what State, Religion and Church’s parent journal has brought to religious studies in Russia, and we are excited to be able to bring Russian scholarship on some of the most pressing contemporary issues in religious studies to a broader global readership. In future issues of State, Religion and Church we will expand the journal’s

  • Soil Contamination Assessment in Ivanovo Region: Urban and Background Aspects
    Soil Contamination Assessment in Ivanovo Region: Urban and Background Aspects Dunaev A.M., Rumyantsev I.V., Grinevich V.I. Ivanovo State University of Chemistry and Technology, Russia, Ivanovo, F. Engels prospect, 7 Abstract. The paper is concerned with the heavy metal monitoring in Ivanovo region. The aspects of urban and background pollution of soils are discussed. Insignificant degree of natural soil contamination is established. Otherwise soil quality in regional center is inadequate. 89.60.Ec Introduction Nowadays an environmental contamination problem in Central Russia is very important. During last years an increase of industrial activity may be caused negative influence on environment. Soil is the most conservative as compared with air and water. Therefore monitoring of soil is the key to assessment of ecosystem integrally. One of the most dangerous pollutants is heavy metals (HM). They exist in all natural environments and frequently have a tendency of bioaccumulation. Their expressed toxicity and high level of the influence define the urgency of investigation of heavy metals migration and transformation in natural ecosystems. The aim of the given research is to study the level of HM content in soil at large industrial city by example of Ivanovo city and at natural, unperturbed places, which are distant from cities. Materials and methods Ivanovo region situated at interfluve of the Volga and Klyaz’ma rivers with an area of 22 000 km2 was the object of the investigation. There were 45 squares (Fig. 1) separated within the region with average area of 400 km2. Samples of soil were taken from each square in 2010.

At its peak the group claimed more than 7,000 troupes and 100,000 members. At the same time that the movement was active, the Soviet state and its citizens were engaged in the massive project of building a new society reflecting the aims of the Revolution.

  • Human Health Risk Assessment in Ivanovo Region from Soil Contamination
    HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT IN IVANOVO REGION FROM SOIL CONTAMINATION Rumyantsev I.V. 1, Dunaev A.M.1, Frontasyeva M.V.2, Grinevich V.I.1 1Ivanovo State University of Chemistry and Technology, Ivanovo, Russia; 2Joint Institute of Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia The problem of environmental pollution by heavy metals (HM) and trace elements is very urgent respectively the problems associated with the implementation of environmental monitoring, assessment of the HM impact level on human health and the environment quality. Heavy metals exist in all natural environments and frequently have a tendency to bioaccumulation. Their expressed toxicity and high level of the influence define the urgency of investigation of heavy metals migration and transformation in natural ecosystems. Soil is one of the major objects of heavy metals deposition. It has a significant storage capacity; it can absorb toxicants and keep them for a long time. Soil contamination is dangerous by itself, but more important is secondary contamination of other environments by metals from the soil. The potential damage to human health makes it necessary to estimate environmental risk parameters. This work is devoted to the study of human health risk assessment from effects of soils contamination by heavy metals in the Ivanovo city and Ivanovo region. Within this work the calculation and analysis of the basic parameters of environmental risk were carried out. In addition, the magnitudes of the probability of adverse effects, loss in life expectancy and the the economic damage to human health and the environment were determined. The object of the investigation is Ivanovo region situated at the interfluve of the Volga and Klyaz’ma rivers and has an area more than 22000 km2.

    Master Program in Economic Growth, Innovation and Spatial Dynamics Russian Monotowns Delgir Maksimova [email protected] Abstract: Monofunctional towns of Russia represent the extreme case of specialized settlements where the socio-economic development mostly or fully depends on the performance of one or a few town-forming enterprises. This phenomenon obtained attention after the Soviet Union collapse, which has resulted in worsening of the socio-economic situation in monotowns. However, since the 2000s the differentiation in the development among monofunctional towns was observed. What can condition such differentiation? In this study an attempt to provide a new perspective, through which monotowns can be studied. The analysis is done in the step- wise manner and based on the developed data matrix and taxonomy of monotowns.

Nannoplankton is well preserved; in total, nearly 25 species were identified. Zone NJ15 was distinguished on the basis of nannoplankton. Coccoliths of representatives of the genus Watznaueria, which are mostly cospomopolitan species, are dominant quantita- tively. A sharp prevalence of W. britannica coccoliths indicates unstable habitat conditions in near-surface waters and their mesotrophy. Foraminifers typical of the Opthalmidium strumosum–Lenticulina brestica and Lenticulina kuznetsovae–Epistomina praetatariensis zones were studied as accompanying microfauna for substantiation of the age of country deposits.
