The Rediscovery of Politics
Six talks on authority, culture and community in the USSR given by Geoffrey Hosking , Professor of Russian History at London University's
School of Slavonic and East European Studies.
5: Religion and the Atheist State 'The Party is looking to the churches as a source of social solidarity which by itself it is poorly equipped to inspire. The Orthodox Church, which has long regarded sobornost - the spirit of community - as its distinctive strength, ought to be ideally fitted to supply this deficiency. The trouble is that the Church has been seriously, perhaps fatally, weakened by the Party's own past treatment?'
This series of lectures can be read in the 'Listener'
