  • The Provisions Against Religious
    $ The Journal of CESNUR $ The Provisions Against Religious Extremism and Illegal Business Activity as Instruments for Outlawing Religious Minorities in Russia: The Case of the Church of Scientology Boris Falikov Russian State University for the Humanities, Moscow [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper, presented at the Kaunas conference Religion(s) and Power(s) of October 5– 6, 2017, has been updated with remarks I made at the seminar co-organized by CESNUR at the American University of Central Asia in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on March 19–20, 2018. Its starting point is that the policy of discrimination towards religious minority groups is increasing in Russia. It is one of the consequences of the alliance of the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), which is a part of the government’s strategy of turning more conservative and isolating Russia from the Western world. The two main legal instruments for outlawing religious minorities are two articles of the Criminal Code: 282 (against extremism) and 171 (against illegal business activity). As the authorities quickly found out, the public fear of religious terrorism, combined with suspicions of illegal enrichment of foreign-based groups, made it quite safe for them to get rid of unwanted religious groups by using these tools. The objections of a small number of defenders of religious freedom inside of Russia, including religious scholars, were dismissed. The indignation such discriminating policy raises abroad only proves to the Kremlin that its is indeed on the right track, making Russia an invincible fortress against the morally corrupted West. KEYWORDS: Scientology, Jehovah’s Witnesses, New Religious Movements in Russia, Extremism in Russia, Repression of Illegal Business Activity in Russia.

  • What Is Really Happening in Russia? a Response to Prof
    $ The Journal of CESNUR $ What Is Really Happening in Russia? A Response to Prof. Introvigne and Prof. Falikov PierLuigi Zoccatelli Pontifical Salesian University [email protected] ABSTRACT: The author discusses the papers of Massimo Introvigne and Boris Falikov within the framework of the activities against the “cults” of the Orthodox Church and the anti-cult movement in Russia. In the first part, he compares Introvigne’s and Falikov’s respective approaches to the legal background of the anti-cult campaigns in Russia. He also emphasizes the argument used by Russian anti-cultist and courts, that the fact that certain movements registered their names as trademarks in the United States proves that they are commercial rather than religious organizations. This argument appears to be based on a misunderstanding, as all major religions, including an umbrella organization of which the Russian Orthodox Church is part, also registered trademarks in the United States. In the second part, the text discusses the relationship between the Russian Orthodox Church and the anti-cult movement in Russia, and whether a dialogue on religious liberty with Russian Orthodox milieus is really possible. KEYWORDS: Scientology, Scientology in Russia, Anti-Cult Movement in Russia, Anti-Extremism Laws in Russia, Religious Liberty in Russia. Introduction The papers by Professor Falikov and Professor Introvigne start from recent events in Russia: the “liquidation” of the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the attempt by the Russian authorities to similarly “liquidate” the Church of Scientology. Both emphasize that several other groups are in danger of being “liquidated.” For a Westerner, the word “liquidation” sounds somewhat sinister and has definite echoes of the Stalinist era.

  • RELIGION and YOUTH in CROATIA Dinka Marinović Jerolimov And
    RELIGION AND YOUTH IN CROATIA Dinka Marinović Jerolimov and Boris Jokić Social and Religious Context of Youth Religiosity in Croatia During transitional periods, the post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe shared several common characteristics regarding religious change. These can be roughly summarized as the influence of religion during the collapse of the communist societal system; the revitalization of religion and religiosity; a national/religious revival; an increase in the number of new religious movements; the politiciza- tion of religion and “religionization” of politics; and the as pirations of churches to regain positions they held in the pre-Communist period (Borowik, 1997, 1999; Hornsby-Smith, 1997; Robertson, 1989; Michel, 1999; Vrcan, 1999). In new social and political circumstances, the posi- tion of religion, churches, and religious people significantly changed as these institutions became increasingly present in public life and the media, as well as in the educational system. After a long period of being suppressed to the private sphere, they finally became publicly “visible”. The attitude of political structures, and society as a whole, towards religion and Churches was clearly reflected in institutional and legal arrangements and was thus reflected in the changed social position of religious communities. These phenomena, processes and tendencies can be recognized as elements of religious change in Croatia as well. This particularly refers to the dominant Catholic Church, whose public role and impor- tance

If the publication is the first of its kind ever to appear on the national cultural scene, and if it covers a particular field which has traditionally been ignored by the ruling ideology or monopolised by a prevalent religion, then the sheer fact of its appearance deserves loud approval. Thus, the emergence of the pioneering General Lexicon of Religion in Croatia in September 2002 constitutes a major contribution and a landmark for the national culture.

  • From the Jehovah's Witnesses to Scientology and Beyond
    $ The Journal of CESNUR $ Research Notes Scientology, Anti-Cultists, and the State in Russia and Hungary On October 5–6, 2017, Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas, Lithuania, hosted the conference Religion(s) and Power(s), organized by the the Lithuanian Society for the Study of Religions in co-operation with the Estonian Society for the Study of Religions and the Latvian Society for the Study of Religion. We publish the texts of the session “‘Cults,’ Anti-Cultists, and Power in Russia. Anti-Extremism Laws and the Case of the Church of Scientology.” To document how Russian concepts of “spiritual security” are being exported in other countries, we also include a paper on Hungary by Patricia Duval, from the seminar Religion and Civil Society in the Post-Soviet Era: Central Asia and Beyond, co-organized by CESNUR at the American University of Central Asia, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on March 19–20, 2018. The Social Construction of “Extremism” in Russia: From the Jehovah’s Witnesses to Scientology and Beyond Massimo Introvigne Center for Studies on New Religions [email protected] ABSTRACT: After the 2017 “liquidation” of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Russia moved to liquidate other new religious movements, including the Church of Scientology. While international criticism often focused on the Russian anti-proselytization laws of 2016, it was in fact the anti-extremism law of 2002, as amended in 2006, that became the main tool for “liquidating” unpopular minorities. In the Russian context, the local anti-cult movement led by Alexander Dvorkin and by radical sectors of the Orthodox Church, accredited itself as the custodian of the nationalist doctrine of “spiritual security,” aimed at shielding Russian from “foreign” spiritual and cultural influences.

  • Spain Is a Viticulture Miracle Waiting to Happen, and Has Been in This Pregnant State for Longer Than Seems Decent
    SPAIN In a nutshell: Land of American oak, sherry, and loin-yielding bush vines. Grapes: Tempranillo, Garnacha (Grenache) (RED), Airen, Viura (Maccabeo), Verdejo, Albarino (XMITE) Spain is a viticulture miracle waiting to happen, and has been in this pregnant state for longer than seems decent. Proud possessor of more land devoted to vines than any other, Spain is only just beginning to capitalize on this resource in any consistent or cohesive way - which is perhaps not surprising. If it had Germany's love of efficiency, or France's respect for bureaucracy, Spain might be sending us oceans of judiciously priced wine made expressly for the international market. But Spain is an anarchic jumble of districts and regions, just as its landscape is an anarchic jumble of staggeringly raw scenery and heartbreakingly awful human constructions, and has to be treated as such by the wine enthusiast. There is real treasure to be found by those prepared to dig, however and, as a connoisseur class develops in Spain itself, all manner of ambitious investors are planning to change the image of Spanish wine. A look at the map suggests just how much climatic diversity there is likely to be between Spain's many wine regions, from the soggy vine yards of Galicia on the north Atlantic coast to the baked Mediterranean south east. Spain's saving grace, viticulturally, is the altitude of her vineyards, many over 650 m (2000 ft). A high proportion of Spanish vineyards therefore manage to produce grapes with good levels of color and acidity simply because night-time temperatures are relatively low, and grapes do not ripen until the end of a usefully prolonged growing season.
