Following the end of the Soviet Union, the Russian Orthodox Church has canonized a great number of Russian saints. Whereas in the first millennium of Russian Christianity (988-1988) the Church recognized merely 300 Russian saints, the number had grown to more than 2,000 by 2006. This book explores the remarkable phenomenon of new Russian martyrdom. It outlines the process of canonization, examines how saints are venerated, and relates all this to the ways in which the Russian state and its people have chosen to remember the Soviet Union and commemorate the victims of its purges. The book includes in-depth case studies of particular saints and examines the diverse ways in which they are venerated.

This book is a collection of one hundred lives of holy martyrs and confessors who suffered for Christ in the Russian Church in the twentieth century. The roll-call begins with the murder of Great Prince Sergius Alexandrovich, the uncle of the tsar, in 1905, at the beginning of the abortive 1905 revolution, and ends with the death of the most recent confessor, Archimandrite Nectarius of Jerusalem, at the beginning of what might be called the third Russian revolution, that of Putin. An introductory chapter describes the significance of the feat of the Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia for our time. The new martyrs and confessors number in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, and the lives recorded in this book constitute only a small portion of them. They have been selected according to three main criteria: their importance in the history of the Church in this period, their diversity in space and time, in rank and occupation, and the intrinsic interest and instructiveness of their lives. Very many lives of equal interest have had to be omitted from what is already a very large book, which is highly regrettable. Nevertheless, we can only rejoice in such an embarras de richesse. Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, and of the Holy New Martyrs and Confessors, Lord Jesus Christ, our God, have mercy on us! October 19 /November 1, 2020. St. John of Kronstadt.

In examining the re-emergence of Russia's White Movement, Memory Politics and the Russian Civil War gets to the heart of the rich 20th-century memory debates going on in Putin's Russia today. The Kremlin has been giving preference to a Soviet-lite nostalgia that denounces the 1917 Bolshevik revolution but celebrates the birth of a powerful Soviet Union able to bring the country to the forefront of the international scene after the victory in World War II. Yet in parallel, another historical narrative has gradually consolidated on the Russian public scene, one that favours the opposite camp, namely the White movement and the pro-tsarist groups defeated in the early 1920s. This book offers the first comprehensive exploration of this 'White Revenge', looking at the different actors who promote a White and pro-Romanov rehabilitation agenda in the political, ideological and cultural arenas and what this historical agenda might mean for Russia, both today and tomorrow.

In Making Martyrs East and West, Cathy Caridi examines how the practice of canonization developed in the West and in Russia, focusing on procedural elements that became established requirements for someone to be recognized as a saint and a martyr. Caridi investigates whether the components of the canonization process now regarded as necessary by the Catholic Church are fundamentally equivalent to those of the Russian Orthodox Church and vice versa, while exploring the possibility that the churches use the same terminology and processes but in fundamentally different ways that preclude the acceptance of one church's saints by the other. Making Martyrs East and West will appeal to scholars of religion and church history, as well as ecumenicists, liturgists, canonists, and those interested in East-West ecumenical efforts.
