  Navalny. Lenin. Pugachev. The Russian rebel—in his epic battle against the Leviathan of the Russian state—has enthralled readers and writers for decades. The rebel's story is almost always a sad one that ends in exile, imprisonment, or martyrdom, leaving but a seed for the future reform of the Leviathan which he or she had taken on.Why do revolts—from the Decembrist uprising to the Snow Revolution that brought Alexei Navalny to the forefront of contemporary Russian politics—seem to end up failing or producing an even worse form of despotism? In reality, the brave words and deeds of dissidents have shaped the course of Russian history more often than we might think. Through the stories of prominent rebels from the time of Ivan the Terrible to the present day, as well as her own experiences reporting on her country's decent into authoritarianism, Russian-American journalist Anna Arutunyan explores how the rebel and the Tsar defined each other through a centuries-long dance of dissent and repression. These characters and their lives not only reveal the true nature of the Russian state, they also offer hope for a future Russian democracy.

  The Sociology of Religion - How...

  Religion has long been a fundamental aspect of human society, influencing cultures, shaping social norms, and providing meaning to people’s lives. The sociology of religion examines how faith and belief systems function within society, analyzing their impact on individuals, communities, and institutions. Unlike theological approaches that focus on the truth or divinity of religious doctrines, sociologists study religion as a social phenomenon, investigating its role in maintaining social order, fostering group identity, and driving social change. 
  One of the key concerns in the sociology of religion is understanding how religious beliefs and practices are shaped by broader social structures. Religious traditions do not exist in isolation; they are influenced by historical contexts, political systems, and economic conditions. For example, the rise of industrialization and urbanization has been linked to shifts in religious affiliation, with some societies experiencing a decline in traditional religious practices while others see the emergence of new forms of spirituality. 
  Sociologists also explore the role of religion in social cohesion and conflict. Many theorists, including Émile Durkheim, argue that religion serves as a unifying force, bringing people together through shared rituals, moral values, and collective worship. In this sense, religion helps to reinforce social bonds and provide a sense of belonging. However, religion can also be a source of division, contributing to sectarian conflicts, discrimination, and political struggles. The study of religious pluralism and interfaith relations highlights both the possibilities for coexistence and the challenges posed by religious diversity.
