Faith in Russia

BBC Radio Wales - All Things Considered, Faith in Russia

Roy Jenkins examines the role of religious faith in Russia.

Roy Jenkins examines the role of religious faith in Russia, a nation that appears to be asserting itself with increasing confidence in global events.

This week Roy Jenkins explores the role of religious faith in Russia (and particularly the dominant Orthodox Church). He looks at the extent to which it influences policy decisions in the Kremlin which have implications around the world, at a time when Russia appears to be asserting itself with increasing confidence; and how much the church it is itself shaped by the state. Is religion now flourishing in a country where secular atheism was until relatively recently the official creed, or is it struggling?
