metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The delimitation (if not demise) of the secularization thesis has caused European historiography to reassess
  the role of religion in nineteenth-century Europe. However, this recalibration has thus far made little
  theoretical or empirical progress in the historiography of the Russian Empire. Confession was no doubt
  a particularly powerful factor in a multi-confessional state such as the Russian Empire. And within that
  empire nowhere was the confessional issue more complex, more conflicted than the Baltic provinces —
  once a bastion of autonomous German Lutheranism but, from the 1830s, the target of a growing challenge
  from the Russian state and the Orthodox Church. This study suggests that religion was a major issue
  in this unassimilated borderland (increasingly subject to integration into a centralized state); that the
  Russian state attached significant (but qualified and variable) support for the Russian Orthodox Church;
  that this religious policy served not to integrate but to alienate (both the Lutherans and the Orthodox);
  and that the Baltic confessional conflict, as it transpired in a new transnational age of globalization, profoundly
  impacted Russia’s international status and foreign policy. Refs 124.
