The Collective and the Individual in Russia: A Study of Practices - Studies on the History of Society and Culture
Oleg Kharkhordin
Examining the period from the Russian Revolution to the fall of Gorbachev, this title demonstrates that Party rituals - which forced each Communist to reflect intensely and repeatedly on his or her "self", an entirely novel experience for many of them - had their antecedents in the Orthodox Christian practices of doing penance in the public gaze.
