“…Much attention has been paid to the general description of the constitutional foundations of the post-Soviet development of Russia (Sharlet, 1993;Ordeshook, 1997;Clark, 1998;Henderson, 2011). Special consideration has been paid to the themes of constitution and the presidency, the interaction of religion and state, federal structure, and constitutional review (Brzezinski, 1993;Sharlet, 1994;Fogelklou, 2003;Scheppele, 2003;Basil, 2009;Flere, Lavrič, Djordjevič, 2016). Additionally, there are works on the comparative analysis of concepts, rhetoric and genre of the Soviet and modern Russian constitutions (Ruutu, 2010;Schmid, 2010).…”

The literature on church-state relations in post-Soviet Russia has been slowly but steadily expanding over the past two decades. The period since 2008, however, remains underdeveloped, as existing analysis has focused on specific issues rather than attempting an overview of the larger trends since the above-mentioned changes in the leadership of both institutions. Seeking to address this gap, this article explores the implications of the nearly coincidental changeovers in leadership in the Moscow Patriarchate and the secular state for church-state relations in Russia, both near and long-term. The first part of the article sets up the context for understanding the new church-state dynamic, by discussing in some detail the state of the relationship under Patriarch Aleksii II. The conclusions are that, under Aleksii tenure, the church could be considered a relatively weak institution, as it was unable for the most part to strengthen its position in Russia through legislative means. The second part focuses on the process whereby the new patriarch came to be elected in 2009, intending thereby to shed some light on Kirill I's leadership style and political agenda. The third part discusses concrete changes in the church-state relationship that have occurred on the federal level since 2008. The final section proposes some conclusions regarding the importance of the Russian Orthodox Church as a political actor in the contemporary Russian Federation, suggesting that despite the recent gains in the church's political fortunes, the ROC's position in society and particularly vis-à-vis the government remains vulnerable in key respects.
