Who are we? Russian? Soviet…?

Pavilion 7А

The Soviet period is over, but things “Soviet” continue to be alive and well within our country, our society, our church and in us, ourselves. Sometimes this is referred to not as “Soviet”, but as “post-Soviet”, or even “Russian”. A transfer of meaning with very serious consequences has occurred, and we must make sense of it all.
