Orthodox bishop attacks Mormons Portal-Credo (28.12.2012) - Answers by Metropolitan of Voronezh and Blorisoglebsk Sergei of RPTsMP to readers' questions were published on 28 December in the weekly "AiF-- Chernozemie" in its last issue of the past year. As the editorial commentary notes, "for a whole month the editorial offices of AiF--Chernozemie have been receiving telephone calls and letters. We posed the most interesting of them to the metropolitan." The writer of one of the questions was interested in "the church's attitude" toward Mormons. The bishop began his answer to him simply: "I will say directly—it is a totalitarian sect." Metropolitan Sergei said "members of the organization lead a rather closed way of life" and "they enter into conflict with Russian legislation." Detailing his statement, Sergei declared that Mormons "practice polygamy" while they officially call themselves the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Then the head of the diocese stated that he does not advise multiplying the ranks "of this sect" and he urged treating it critically. He said "all sects offer a very short path to God, without spiritual labor and good works." Metropolitan Sergei maintains that "sects say it is enough to believe and you will be saved by faith and you can conduct any lifestyle." At present, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the main denomination among various branches of the religious movement that has as its source the teachings of Joseph Smith (1805-1844). Smith wrote the Book of Mormon, which Mormons are convinced is a revelation, Portal-credo.ru recalls. Back in the nineteenth century the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints changed its attitude toward polygamy, acknowledging that the only form of marriage permitted to its adherents is monogamy. This decision was made by the leadership of the religious community in the region of the Great Salt Lake in order to permit normalization of relations of the new for the time American church with the federal government of USA, which subsequently led to the creation of the separate state of Utah, most of whose population at the time was Mormon settlers and local Indians. Originally, for doctrinal reasons, Mormons viewed Indians as objects of their evangelism; according to Joseph Smith's teaching, Indians were descendents of ancient Hebrews who resettled on the American continent back in Old Testament times. Polygamy continues to be practiced by only the extremist varieties of Mormons, who have no adherents inside Russia. From time to time polygamist Mormons, who are not organizationally associated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, have become figures in criminal cases taken up by American courts. (tr. by PDS, posted 5 January 2013) More than year of harassment of Chuvash Jehovah's Witnesses Portal Credo (27.12.2012) - On 6 December 2012 a criminal case against ten Jehovah's Witnesses was closed because of lack of evidence of a crime. They were granted the right to rehabilitation and compensation for damages associated with criminal prosecution. Who was affected by the criminal prosecution for faith in Chuvashia, and how? A massive operation against Jehovah's Witnesses was conducted on 7 September 2011 in the cities of Cheboksary, Kanash, Novocheboksarsk, and Ivanovo. Almost simultaneously, eleven searches in homes and houses of worship of Jehovah's Witnesses were conducted. Worship services were interrupted. Law enforcement officers armed with clubs and firearms, working in groups of up to eleven persons, used force to break into buildings, block exits, and shove believers, including minors, into police vehicles. Personal searches of people attending services were conducted, followed by confiscation of religious literature belonging to them. During the searches in residences also seized were computers, other personal items, and cash. Believers also were subjected to involuntary photographing and finger printing. Some believers were detained for two days. On 8 September 2011 two other searches were conducted in Cheboksary in residences of the Jehovah's Witnesses V. Goncharov and R. Yalandaev. During the searches, the believers' religious literature, computers, and other personal items were seized. On 19 September 2011, a search was conducted in the apartment of Jehovah's Witness R. Vasilev in Cheboksary. Nothing was confiscated during the search. On 22 September 2011, a search in the apartment of Jehovah's Witness N. Nesterova was conducted in Cheboksary. A computer processor was confiscated. On 10 February 2012, searches were conducted one after the other in the apartments of Jehovah's Witnesses F. Bobrova and M. Ermakov in the city of Alatyr. On 6 March 2012 a search was conducted in the home of Jehovah's Witness A. Martynov in the village of Pervomaisk. During the search, no "extremist materials" were found and nothing was confiscated. On 16 March 2012, during three searches in Jehovah's Witnesses' apartments of the Laborin family, Yu. Demidova, and 71-year-old I. Korneva in Novocheboksarsk, all religious literature including Bibles was confiscated. On 26 July 2012, Jehovah's Witnesses Igor Efimov, Andrei Martynov, Aleksei Nikolaev, and Andrei Nikolaev were arrested in the cities of Alatyr, Novocheboksarsk, and Cheboksary. Two were arrested at home, a third at his workplace, and a fourth in the office of the investigator to which he had been summoned. On 30 July 2012 two of the four believers (Andrei Nikolaev and Andrei Martynov) were released after five days of incarceration in a detention cell. On 10 September 2012 the Supreme Court of the Chuvash republic released two Jehovah's Witnesses, Aleksei Nikolaev and Igor Efimov, who had been unjustly held in detention for 46 days. On 6 December 2012 a criminal case was closed because of lack of evidence of a crime. Information: Just a bit fewer than 1,000 Jehovah's Witnesses live in Chuvashia, and worship services of this religion in the republic are attended by more than 2,000 persons. There are Jehovah's Witnesses religious groups in Alatyr, Vurnary, Kanash, Novocheboksarsk, Cheboksary, and Shumerlya. (tr. by PDS, posted 5 January 2013) Religious radicals in Tatarstan urge their coreligionists not to celebrate the New Year Interfax (28.12.2012) - Radical Muslims have launched a campaign against celebrating the New Year at the streets of Kazan. Interfax - They consider harmful not only the tradition of celebrating the New Year on the night from December 31 to January 1, but also everything accompanying the celebration: the Father Frost, the Snow Maid and parties, the Nezavisimaya Gazeta daily reports. Radical Tatar nationalists also share anti-New Year propaganda and urge to spend December 31 as an ordinary day: not to drink vodka as Russians do and better earn money driving home drunk kaferrs (unfaithful), who celebrate "their dirty feast." Opponents of one of the country's main secular feasts are inspired by Caucasus preachers, in particular, Abu Umar Sasitlinsky - "Doctor of the Shariah Studies" and one of the most popular Salafi preachers in Dagestan. Abu Umar's video where he compares people celebrating the New Year to monkeys is available free in one the most popular groups in a social net that unites radical Muslims of Kazan. According to the head of the Volga Center on Regional and Ethnic-Religious Studies of the Russian Strategic Research Institute Rais Suleimanov, Islamists strive to change usual for Tatars calendar life. "Eventually, we face the situation when Islamists place announcements in the city saying that the New Year is a shirk (which means manifestation of polytheism) and in the Net extremists urge not to decorate Christmas trees.

  • The Russia You Never Met

    The Russia You Never Met

    The Russia You Never Met MATT BIVENS AND JONAS BERNSTEIN fter staggering to reelection in summer 1996, President Boris Yeltsin A announced what had long been obvious: that he had a bad heart and needed surgery. Then he disappeared from view, leaving his prime minister, Viktor Cher- nomyrdin, and his chief of staff, Anatoly Chubais, to mind the Kremlin. For the next few months, Russians would tune in the morning news to learn if the presi- dent was still alive. Evenings they would tune in Chubais and Chernomyrdin to hear about a national emergency—no one was paying their taxes. Summer turned to autumn, but as Yeltsin’s by-pass operation approached, strange things began to happen. Chubais and Chernomyrdin suddenly announced the creation of a new body, the Cheka, to help the government collect taxes. In Lenin’s day, the Cheka was the secret police force—the forerunner of the KGB— that, among other things, forcibly wrested food and money from the peasantry and drove some of them into collective farms or concentration camps. Chubais made no apologies, saying that he had chosen such a historically weighted name to communicate the seriousness of the tax emergency.1 Western governments nod- ded their collective heads in solemn agreement. The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank both confirmed that Russia was experiencing a tax collec- tion emergency and insisted that serious steps be taken.2 Never mind that the Russian government had been granting enormous tax breaks to the politically connected, including billions to Chernomyrdin’s favorite, Gazprom, the natural gas monopoly,3 and around $1 billion to Chubais’s favorite, Uneximbank,4 never mind the horrendous corruption that had been bleeding the treasury dry for years, or the nihilistic and pointless (and expensive) destruction of Chechnya.
  • Cambridge Companion Shakespeare on Film

    Cambridge Companion Shakespeare on Film

    This page intentionally left blank Film adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays are increasingly popular and now figure prominently in the study of his work and its reception. This lively Companion is a collection of critical and historical essays on the films adapted from, and inspired by, Shakespeare’s plays. An international team of leading scholars discuss Shakespearean films from a variety of perspectives:as works of art in their own right; as products of the international movie industry; in terms of cinematic and theatrical genres; and as the work of particular directors from Laurence Olivier and Orson Welles to Franco Zeffirelli and Kenneth Branagh. They also consider specific issues such as the portrayal of Shakespeare’s women and the supernatural. The emphasis is on feature films for cinema, rather than television, with strong cov- erage of Hamlet, Richard III, Macbeth, King Lear and Romeo and Juliet. A guide to further reading and a useful filmography are also provided. Russell Jackson is Reader in Shakespeare Studies and Deputy Director of the Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham. He has worked as a textual adviser on several feature films including Shakespeare in Love and Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet and Love’s Labour’s Lost. He is co-editor of Shakespeare: An Illustrated Stage History (1996) and two volumes in the Players of Shakespeare series. He has also edited Oscar Wilde’s plays.

Number of pages: 104 Keywords: The EU, Russia, social media, identity construction, discourse, officials Where deposited: Social Sciences, European and Nordic studies, Russian studies Additional information: Abstract: The contemporary crisis between Russia and the EU, reflects, among other things, in the identity construction in both European and Russian domestic discourses. In view of the current conflict between Russia and Europe, it is crucial to comprehend how both actors perceive each other and the reality(ies) of the current status of their bilateral relations. According to the post-structuralists, foreign policies are dependent on the representations of “us” and “them”, articulated in national discourses. Such constructs are often represented through mass media, and given the growing adaptation of IT technologies, social media specifically become a suitable platform for the distribution of the images of “us” and “them” for both domestic and foreign audiences. The study seeks to identify which images of the EU are framed by Russian officials in social media and whether such frames correlate with some aspects of Russian domestic and foreign agendas. The thesis focuses on the images of the EU framed by Russian officials in the period between March 2019 and December 2019, a drastic period of EU-Russia relations, triggered by the Ukrainian crisis.

Russia Eternal: Recalling The Imperial Era In Late- And Post-Soviet Literature And Culture Abstract The return of Tsarist buildings, narratives and symbols has been a prominent facet of social life in post- Soviet Russia. My dissertation aims to explain this phenomenon and its meaning by tracking contemporary Russia’s cultural memory of the Imperial era. By close-reading both popular and influential cultural texts, as well as analyzing their conditions of production and reception, I show how three generations of Russian cultural elites from the 1950s until today have used Russia’s past to fight present- day political battles, and outline how the cultural memory of the Imperial epoch continues to inform post- Soviet Russian leaders and their mainstream detractors. Chapters One and Two situate the origin of Russian culture’s current engagement with the pre-Revolutionary era in the social dynamic following Stalin’s death in 1953.
