Abstract:
Abstract In recent years Russia has witnessed a massive expansion of national-patriotic
youth associations. Following thedecades of officially de-ideologised politics and withdrawal
of the state from the discussion of national identityyoung people turned towards various
informal interpretations and enactments of Russianness. The articleinvestigates one
particular case of such enactment. It describes cultural, economic, and political practices of
theOrthodox military-patriotic club ?Rus'? based at the Saint Vladimir church.
