Why did interest in alternative spiritual leadership, not integrated into the traditional church hierarchy, arise in Russia at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries? V. Yachmenik's book explores how a crisis of trust in the church structure and the weakening of traditional forms of religious legitimation sparked a growing interest in the concept of "charisma." The study demonstrates how academic and pragmatic interests in the concept of charisma collided, the place this concept occupied in discussions about church authority, and how it influenced the reform of Russian Orthodoxy in the pre-revolutionary years. Paying particular attention to figures who claimed charismatic leadership within the church community, the author reveals the specific characteristics of religious thinking in an era of colossal cultural, political, and social change. Vyacheslav Yachmenik, PhD in Theology, is a research fellow at the Laboratory for the Study of Church Institutions at St. Tikhon's Orthodox University.
