93 pages. 20 cm. Original printed wrappers. Limited to a print run of 200 copies. Very good, moderate toning to paper, light edgewear to wrappers. A scarce and significant publication presenting the proceedings of a round table discussion organized by the Center for Humanitarian Research and Programs "Put'," in collaboration with the Research Institute of Culture of the RSFSR Ministry of Culture and the USSR Academy of Sciences. Issued during the turbulent transitional period of the early 1990s, this volume addresses the reintegration of religious and secular culture in the context of Russia's intense societal modernization. The essays and discussions reflect on church pedagogy, the cultural role of the Russian Orthodox Church, and educational strategies for a society undergoing spiritual revival after decades of Soviet atheism. Compiled by leading intellectuals, including contributions from O. Sergii (Popov), O. Georgii (Kochetkov), T. B. Liubimova, and others, the volume is representative of the early post-Soviet cultural discourse.
