| Abstract | Sergei Filatov's publications have made an enormous contribution to the analysis of religious life in postcommunist Russia. His articles in the volume Religiya i obshchestvo, sponsored and financed by Keston Institute, give a lively overview of the variety and complexity of new religious developments in Russia since perestroika, as well as highlighting problematic issues. Filatov is a sociologist with a remarkable understanding of socio-religious issues. He is not a historian, however, so he is to be forgiven for not always providing an adequate historical context. In his article 'Lutheranism in Russia: amidst Protestantism, Orthodoxy and Catholicism' (RSS, 31, 4, December 2003, pp. 36784) my friend Filatov quotes me on several occasions, and the impression may arise that some of his historical errors are based on my writings, so I feel I must point out the places where he is on the wrong historical track. Let me say, however, that I am in full agreement with the up-to-date, accurate and important analysis of the current standing of the various branches of Lutheranism in the former USSR which he and Aleksandra Stepina provide in this article. |
