Abstract
An American sociologist who has supervised a series of field surveys in Russia from 1993 to 1997, involving 110,000 respondents, examines the different patterns of religious revival among the Russians and the Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, and Shamanist non-Russians in 16 of the 20 republics within the Federation during these years. She explores the reasons for the greater religiosity of the Russians in the republics than those in the oblasts and, paradoxically, for their greater tolerance of Islam and Buddhism. The author's 1997 findings are based on her survey embracing 800 to 1,000 high school seniors in each of 16 republics and a simultaneous stratified national random sample of 1,068 individuals 17 and 18 years of age in the oblasts.
