Religious minorities in the Russian Empire: a historiographical survey of the English-language literature (1991-2017)

In this article, the author presents a review of the English-language research on religious minorities in the Russian Empire released after 1991. In the period before 1991, this subject was relatively under-studied. On the one hand, this was due to the inaccessibility of Russian archives to foreign academics; on the other, western historians were often more interested in researching the political and economic questions of Russian history. This situation fundamentally changed with the growth in the popularity of the history of culture and the new imperial history in the 1980s and the opening of the archives after the fall of the Soviet Union. Especially important was the innovative historian Gregory Freeze. The review is divided into four parts. First of all, the review examines the general works (those by Paul Werth and a range of other specialists) on this theme: these are dedicated to questions of the classification and conceptualisation of religious issues in the Russian Empire. Next, works dedicated to the non-Orthodox Christian confessions are considered. These consist of research on Catholicism (J. Dunn, M. Dobilov, R. Blobaum, and others), Lutheranism (G. Freeze), the Uniates (B. Skinner), and the Armenian Gregorian Church (O. Enud). Academic works on the non-Christian faiths are the subject of the next section: these faiths include Judaism (B. Nathans, E. Avrutin, and others), Islam (R. Cruise, E. Davis, E. Kane), Buddhism (Hindley, Murray, and Sablin), polytheism (P. Werth, A. Znamenski, and A. Kolosova). Finally, the last section discusses the history of religious sects in the Russian Church (R. Robson, I. Paert, S. Zhuk, and many others). At the basis of the analysis of this collection of academic literature, one can conclude that today work on religious minorities is developing dynamically. In recent years, numerous pieces have been published in English, including monographs, scholarly articles, and doctoral dissertations. The fundamental themes of these works are the relationship between religious minorities, the official Church, and the imperial state; the influence of legislative limitations and privileges on individual and community life; the changing nature of religious faith and rituals; the role of religious minorities in state, confession, and empire building; and the shifting character of religious toleration. However, significant lacunae remain. For example, there is a sharp need for more words on the main Christian confessions, especially Lutheranism and the Armenian Gregorian Church. Equally, comparative and transnational studies would be highly advantageous.
