KIZENKO, N., Good for the Souls. A History of Confession in the Russian Empire. Oxford University Press, 2021. 344p. Hardback. Series: Oxford Studies in Modern European History. Contrary to the cliche, Nadieszda Kizenko shows that the History of Confession in the Russian Empire is not just the history of a state instrument of control, but a dynamic process that took different forms under different regents. At the same time, it is about an Orthodox practice that was also used by the population to create their own narratives (e.g. by elite women). Kizenko draws on an impressive wealth of textual sources that demonstrate the diverse aspects of the subject matter Regula Zwahlen, Religion & Society in East and West Nov 2022 |a 16/11/2022 (Publisher's information). € 110.06 (New) (Printed on Demand) (approx. delivery time: 4 weeks) ISBN: 9780192896797
