The Making of the New Martyrs of Russia: Soviet Repression in Orthodox Memory - Routledge Religion, Society and Government in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet States 1st edition
Karin Christensen
Following the end of the Soviet Union the Russian Orthodox Church greatly increased the number of saints, taking the total from the approximately 300 canonised in the previous one thousand years to over 2,000 by 2006. This book explores this interesting phenomenon, and includes in-depth case studies of particular saints and their veneration.
