Description

This book examines the key 2008 publication of the Russian Orthodox Church on human dignity, freedom, and rights.

It considers how the document was formed, charting the development over time of the Russian Orthodox Church's views on human rights.

It analyzes the detail of the document, and assesses the practical and political impact inside the Church, at the national level and in the international arena.

Overall, it shows how the attitude of the Russian Orthodox Church has shifted from outright hostility towards individual human rights to the advocacy of "traditional values."
