  • Russia 2012 International Religious Freedom Report
    RUSSIA 2012 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution provides for freedom of religion; however, other laws and policies restrict religious freedom. In practice the government generally respected religious freedom, but imposed restrictions that affected members of minority religious groups. These included the use of extremism charges to ban religious materials and restrict groups’ right to assemble, detentions, raids, denial of official registration with the Ministry of Justice, denial of official building registration, and denial of visas to religious workers. There is no state religion, but the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) and other “traditional” religious communities received preferential consideration. The trend in the government’s respect for religious freedom did not change significantly during the year. There were reports of societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. Members of minority religious groups continued to experience harassment and occasional physical attacks. Violent extremism in the North Caucasus region and an influx of Central Asian migrant workers led to negative attitudes in many regions toward traditionally Muslim ethnic groups. The U.S. ambassador addressed religious freedom in consultations with government officials; he also met with religious leaders and participated in events to promote religious tolerance. Other U.S. embassy and U.S. government officials raised the treatment of minority religious groups with government officials on numerous occasions. The U.S. government engaged a number of religious groups and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in a regular dialogue on religious freedom. Embassy staff actively monitored possible violations of religious freedom. Section I. Religious Demography According to the Government Statistics Agency, the population is 143.2 million.

    RCHITECTURE DURING THE EPOCH OF PETER THE AGREAT (1703-1725) Galina P. Chudesova*11G.P St Petersburg National Research University of Information Technology, Mechanics and Optics (ITMO University) St Petersburg, Russia Keywords: architecture, St Petersburg, maximaphily, Cabin of Peter the Great 1. Introduction In recent decades, there has been increasing interest in the House of Romanov. An almost total absence of information on the life and activities of the members of this dy- nasty during the Soviet period led to an explosion of interest in this theme after the col- lapse of the USSR. In the post-Soviet period, a stream of literature about the Romanov dynasty looded society, focusing on the architects of that time as creators of particular architectural monuments. As a result, during the translation of collective knowledge, information about the role of the monarchs in creating the architectural heritage of St. Petersburg is practically absent. The present article offers an unusual way of looking at St Petersburg. This is the irst in the series of articles entitled “Architectural Chronicle of St Petersburg”, devoted to deining the contribution each monarch made to the development of the city. The aspects relating to the formation of social memory in society and its implications for the future have been suficiently studied in the historical and philosophical sense, therefore, the author of the paper has considered any scientiic insights unnecessary. Of all the approaches scientists have taken in studying heritage, the author is closest to the informative approach proposed by Ya.K. Rebane and further developed by such scientists as V.A.
