Description
The anthology of the works of a leading Russian philologist and medievalist presents a cross-section of the author's oeuvre from the 1970s to the end of the 1990s. The thematic diversity and broad historical range of articles and essays - from the Christianization of Russia ('The Beauty of Orthodoxy and the Baptism of Russia') and the emergence of the Andrey cult ('Chronicle Narrative about the Apostle Andrew and Flagellantism') to parallels between the cultural types of slavia orthodoxa and slavia romana ('On the Specificity of Slavic Civilization') and the resistance of the first proponents of the 'old faith' ('Boyarina Morozova - Symbol and Personality') to the creation of modern clichés ('Potemkin Villages' as a Cultural Myth) or the Lenin cult ('The Eighth Wonder of the World') - undoubtedly testify that the author wrote - albeit from various perspectives - his own spiritual history of Russian culture.
