Description	After the collapse of the Soviet Union, religion became a political factor in many of the former communist states. The new and secular governments experienced two contradictory tendencies. First, the dominant religions supported the construction of nationalist identities and nationalist policies. Second, religious diversity increased, and religious pluralism became a political issue. In this seminar, we will study these developments. A special focus will be given to Russia and Azerbaijan as contrasting case studies (Orthodox Christianity – Islam; leading political power – small regional power). Participants in the seminar can join the excursion to Azerbaijan (L37.00421) in June 2020. Start: 19.2.2020
Training objectives	Students will be familiar with the main theories about the general religious development in the post-Soviet space and about religious nationalism in Eastern Europe. They will be able to analyze in more detail the two case studies, Russia and Azerbaijan.
