Abstract

Since 2010, religious organisations in the Russian Federation have been legally empowered to claim back property confiscated by the state after the October Revolution in 1917. The restitution of church buildings, however, provokes competing claims from different religious and non-religious organisations. Nevertheless, the Russian Orthodox Church has been able to reclaim most of these buildings. This article draws attention to the increase in the power of the Russian Orthodox Church, characterising the interplay between religion and politics in Russia as ‘entangled authorities’. Outcomes of restitution claims are hard to predict and depend on the local setting and the constellations of power.
