520 |a This paper, presented at the Kaunas conference Religion(s) and Power(s)of October 5-6, 2017, has been updated with remarks I made at the seminar co-organized by CESNUR at the American University of Central Asia in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on March 19-20, 2018. Its starting point is that the policy of discrimination towards religious minority groups is increasing in Russia. It is one of the consequences of the alliance of the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), which is a part of the government’s strategy of turning more conservative and isolating Russia from the Western world. The two main legal instruments for outlawing religious minorities are two articles of the Criminal Code: 282 (against extremism) and 171 (against illegal business activity). As the authorities quickly found out, the public fear of religious terrorism, combined with suspicions of illegal enrichment of foreign-based groups, made it quite safe for them to get rid of unwanted religious groups by using these tools. The objections of a small number of defenders of religious freedom inside of Russia, including religious scholars, were dismissed. The indignation such discriminating policy raises abroad only proves to the Kremlin that its is indeed on the right track, making Russia an invincible fortress against the morally corrupted West.
