Russian folk eschatology. History and modernity: Igor Bessonov

The book is devoted to the study of Russian folk ideas about the end of the world. The topic of work covers the temporary period from the Old Russian era to our time, however, the main emphasis is on the presentation and study of folk views of the XIX-XXI centuries. Russian folk eschatology is considered in many cultural contexts – as an integral part of the Christian tradition, as a phenomenon of traditional folk culture and even as an example of mass ideas of the modern era. The book will be interesting to both specialists in the field of philology, history, religious studies, and a wide reader who is interested in traditional Russian culture.
