Unusually, at least for Romania, pastor Uiszl6 T6kes' congregation chose to resist and were soon joined by several thousand townsfolk. The crowd was later dispersed by gunfire with many killed on the street, but within ten dramatic days the regime had fallen and the dictator was dead. In this way a religious figure provided the spark which led to the downfall of a system, one of whose philosophical principles insofar as Ceausescu had principles apart from self-aggrandisement and self-preservation was scientific atheism. Of course, the Romanian revolution was not simply a product of the defiance of a single pastor. Popular resentment of the dynastic rule of the Ceausescus with its consequent economic impoverishment of the country had been building up over a number of years and was fuelled by the failure of the regime to move with the rest of Eastern Europe. Yet in the person of T6kes we see symbolised a number of factors contributing towards change in the region: individual resistance, the struggle against religious persecution, and the role Of religion in 'Iprotecting the values of a particular nationality in this case ethnic Hungarians. If religion was once ignored in discussions of East European politics, the election of a Polish Pope in 1978 and the key role of the Catholic Church in Polish politics since the Solidarity period reminded observers that religion remains a vital force in much of the region.

We are aware of earlier, minor, breakaway movements such as the cloth shearers (strigolnikt) in 14th century Novgorod and Pskov or the ludaisers in Novgorod and Moscow a century later. Of course many important sects developed as protest movements from within Russian Orthodoxy, mainly from the 18th century onwards (e.g. the Khlysty who led to the Skoptsy; the Dukhobors who led to the Molokans through to the Tolstoyans in the 20th century, and many others besides).Seen in the long term however, none of these gained importance or· persisted to the same extent as the Old Believer movement, which in spite of countless schisms remains to this day a force to be reckoned with by the Moscow Patriarchate. The efforts of the patriarchate since 1971 to establish good relations with the Old Believers speak for themselves. Unlike other divisions within Orthodoxy, the roots of the Old Believer movement lay not in a protest against the doctrine or life of the Orthodox Church, but rather in a rejection of formal innovations in'> rites, church practice and written tradition, which seem unimportant today. In the 17th century the borders of the Russian Empire were extended to the south west (e.g. by the subjection of eastern Ukraine to Moscow in 1663). This development, which had in . fact begun decades earlier, strengthened church links with Constantinople and resulted in a reconsideration of the Greek roots of Russian Orthodoxy. It had already been noted in Russian church circles that the centuries of isolation following Tatar rule (1240 to approximately 1440) had led to a considerable alienation from the Greek mother","PeriodicalId":197393,"journal":{"name":"Religion in Communist Lands","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128222151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I It is argued that political anthropologists can offer exceptional insight into processes of legitimation in contemporary socialist societies. Even before the era of glasnost' the states of Eastern Europe, including the USSR, had long put behind them the 'heroic' phase of Leninism-Stalinism. There were few attempts to mobilise populations through socialist rhetoric, nor, with isolated exceptions, were citizens still terrorised by 'security forces'. However, the ruling powers have experienced increasing difficulties in grounding their legitimacy in rapid economic modernisation as, again with isolated exceptions, historic patterns of underdevelopment vis-a-vis the West have reasserted themselves strongly since the mid-seventies. Hence the symbolic dimension becomes of central importance to the state in its efforts. to ensure political stability. We might expect this dimension to gain in importance as the economic situation deteriorates. Yet, even before economic decline became so serious, scholars examining the Soviet ritual system had pointed to ~ignificant changes in the symbolic sphere, including a shift towards powerful 'traditional' symbols such as those of national identity. 2 It should not, of course, be assumed that these adaptations by the authorities will always bring success in their quest for legitimation. Some anthropologists argue that Marxist socialism, unlike other * This paper has benefited from the advice of MiMly Sarkany, Tamas Hofer, John Eibner and Gabor Klaniczay, and the constructive suggestions of seminar audiences in Cambridge and St Andrews, to ~hom earlier versions were read in 1989.","PeriodicalId":197393,"journal":{"name":"Religion in Communist Lands","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122178690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
