Summary:

In the globalizing culture wars of the twenty-first century, Americans are discovering Russia as a new haven of traditionalism and Russian conservatives are re-inventing themselves as the traditionalist leaders of the world. While American and Russian conservatives reach out to each other, liberal critics and moderate Orthodox put this new alliance into question and reclaim tradition from the traditionalists. This edited volume gathers interviews and original essays for a confrontational debate about the meaning of religion, tradition, and liberalism in Russia and in the United States.
