    Test of Faith: Religious Mennonite Organizations of Orenburg Region, 1945-1991

    Test of Faith: Religious Mennonite Organizations of Orenburg Region, 1945-1991 Konstantin A. Morgunov, Orenburg State University In Orenburg oblast in pre-war times, the last religious meeting houses were closed by state authorities in the early 1930s. Some changes that took place in connection with the war regarding relations between the state and religious organizations did not affect German Mennonite congregations. Liberalization of the state church policy did not lead to legalization of Mennonite religious organizations in Orenburg region.1 In the post-war years, Mennonites began efforts to register their religious congregations. In March 1946, the Chkalov Evangelical Chris- tian Baptist (ECB) congregation was officially registered. Mennonites living in Chkalov had joined the Baptists after actively discussing a letter of the All-Union Council of Evangelical Christian Baptists (AUCECB) “On Military Matters” and passed a decision to support all of its provisions. (Baptists, although similar to Mennonites in many of their teachings, officially rejected pacifism and consequently the authorities were more tolerant towards them.) In June 1946 the first petition was submitted in which believers of the villages of Donskoye, Anenskoye, Bogomazovo, Podol’sk and Pleshanovo requested permis- 80 Journal of Mennonite Studies sion to open a meeting house in Pleshanovo, Luxemburgskiy raion. This was followed by another petition submitted by Mennonites from the vil- lages of Alisovo, Klubnikovo, Dobrovka, Stepanovka and Rodnichnoye of Perevolotskiy raion in October 1946 in which they asked to open a meeting house in the village of Klubnikovo. Aware of the authorities’ bias against them because of their pacifist beliefs, Mennonites in both petitions identified themselves as ECB.2 Both petitions to open meeting houses were denied.

    Report on the Situation in the Area of Hate Crimes Against Muslims in Russia in 2013-14

    OSCE/ODIHR working session 12 (30.09.14) Report on the Situation in the Area of Hate Crimes against Muslims in Russia in 2013-14 Muslim problem research center in Russia submits an annual report on the hate crimes committed against Muslims in Russia. The report is based on the information collected in the monitoring run by our Center. Content: 1. Summary 2. The crimes against mosques 3. The crimes against Muslims committed by law enforcement officials based on the hate towards Islam and Muslims during investigative actions. 4. The crimes against Muslims 5. Desecration of graves 6. Muslims’ websites attacks. Summary On the whole in 2013 the number of hate crimes committed against Muslims increased. The tendency to further exacerbation of the situation and the rise of the number of such crimes is obvious, which certainly reflects the level of reduction of security for both the Muslims living in Russia and their mosques. It should be noted that the situation in this sphere is often exacerbated with resonant crimes such as mass fights, explosions, that are yet in the early stages of the investigation, that is when the investigation and the court has not yet set the criminals, associated with Islam and Muslims. At the same time the media replicate willingly such news so affecting the public consciousness negatively and contributing to grow in it the feeling of hatred towards Islam and Muslims, which naturally entails the desecration of the mosques, attacks on Muslims from the direction of ordinary citizens and, in some cases of law enforcement agencies. This can be traced on the basis of a small sample made from Russian media.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.
