| Title | The Molokan Community in the Caucasus in the XIX Century |
| Summary | This work on a sectarian community of the Spiritual Christians, the Molokans, that had been exiled into the Caucasian region (modern-day Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia and the North Caucasus republics of the Russian Federation) in the XIX century (1830-1905). The scholarship on the Molokans and this thesis exists at the crossroads between the history of religion and theological and imperial history. It participates in discussing, in comparative perspective, how the Russian empire interacted with the schismatics in secular and religious terms. This thesis uses both the Molokan and the imperial perspectives in order to describe this community of faith without mystification and add nuance to the scholarly understanding of it. The Molokan theology and way of life is described in detail within the larger framework of debates about the Russian imperial structure and in the context of the center and periphery. |
