| Summary: | The author discusses the papers of Massimo Introvigne and Boris Falikov withinthe framework of the activities against the “cults” of the Orthodox Church and the anti-cult movement in Russia. In the first part, he compares Introvigne’s and Falikov’s respective approaches to the legal background of the anti-cult campaigns in Russia. He also emphasizes the argument used by Russian anti-cultist and courts, that the fact that certain movements registered their names as trademarks in the United States proves that they are commercial rather than religious organizations. This argument appears to be based on a misunderstanding, as all major religions, including an umbrella organization of which the Russian Orthodox Church is part, also registered trademarks in the United States. In the second part, the text discusses the relationship between the Russian Orthodox Church and the anti-cult movement in Russia, and whether a dialogue on religious liberty with Russian Orthodox milieus is really possible. |
