Mysticism and Religion in Contemporary Russian Literature

Mysticism and religion have been an integral part of Russian culture for centuries, with Russian Orthodox practices, folklore, and Eastern traditions of shamanism often influencing and merging with each other. While these beliefs were underplayed or suppressed during much of the Soviet Union, there has since been a revival of interest in spirituality, which has been reflected in new Russian writing by authors such as Vladmir Sharov, Maria Galina, Mikhail Weller, Oleg Pavlov and Denis Osokin.
