This book dispels the widely-held view that paganism survived in Russia alongside Orthodox Christianity, demonstrating that 'double belief', dvoeverie, is in fact an academic myth.

Stella Rock is Senior Research Fellow in History at the University of Sussex. Her publications on Russian Orthodoxy span the medieval and post-Soviet periods, and her research interests focus on popular faith (in the broadest sense) and the relationship between religious and national identity.

Introduction 1. Christian Idol-Worshippers and 'Pagan Survivals' 2. Heretics and 'Wrong-Believing' 3. A History of Historians 4. How Russian is 'Double-Belief'? Conclusion
