| Résumé: | the article discusses the peculiarities of confessional identity, the level ofreligiosity and religious involvement (church going) of Russians and theethnoconfessional relations and religious practice with the example of abiocultural Republic of Russia - Tatarstan. The authors consider the outcome ofthe sociological research carried out in the framework of the project from theFederal University of Kazan, in 2012, «The conditions and dynamics ofinterethnic and interconfessional relations in the Republic of Tatarstan» aswell as secondary data analysis from Russian research center VZIOM. The authorsconclude that in the polyethnic Russian society there is domination in number and asthe consequence the cultural domination of some ethnoconfessional communities.In the biocultural republics of the Russian Federation religion functions aspreservation of ethnic identity and the family plays a crucial role in theformation of religious identity. The theoretical framework of the article isbased on the theoretical explanations of Grace Davie concerning conceptualclarity and differences in meanings of religious pluralism and tolerance;Daniele Hervieu-Leger’s concept of religious individualism and modernindividualism, Helen Rose Ebaugh’s recent research on religion and newimmigrants with an attempt to present the congregational model as one of theforms of religious organization in the modern world and finally Nancy Ammerman’sinsistence on the necessity for social scientists to examine ordinary episodes of social interaction todetermine the presence or absence of religious narratives and practices. |
