The recent upsurge of religious dissent in the Baltic republic of Latvia is a somewhat unexpected phenomenon. Unlike its fervently Catholic neighbour Lithuania, Latvia has never been renowned for its religious loyalties, although before the war the majority of the population (56 per cent) were Lutherans. 1 Since the annexation of the Baltic states by the Soviet Union in 1940, Latvia has not been a centre of religious protest even in the Latvian Baptist Church, for example, the "unregistered" wing has hardly any members. The Latvian Lutheran Church in particular has always remained quiet, subdued and willing to cooperate with Soviet laws on religion. In the last few years, however, an unofficial revival movement has been growing up among the Latvian Lutheran clergy; in 1987 it developed into a religious rights movement, thus coming into open· conflict with the Soviet authorities, as well as its own church leadership.

In her article on religious themes in recent Soviet literature (RCL. Vol. 16 No. 2) Mary Seton-Watson draws attention to a very important aspect of modern Soviet writing. Over the past twenty years religion Christianity in particular has come to be treated with a serious and at times cautiously sympathetic interest in a sizeable proportion of officially published Soviet prose. When they draw on religious ideas and experience, Soviet authors are doing little more, of course, than reviving a tradition in Russian writing, which was stifled after the Revolution and further quashed by the enforcement of the doctrine of Socialist Realism on literature in the early 1930s. Some of Russia's most highly regarded literary figures rooted their work in religious thought, and it should come as no surpris~ to see the latter-day successors of Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Bulgakov or Pasternak trying to do the same. It would not, then, be fully appropriate to welcome the introduction of religious ideas in official Soviet prose as an indication of a rising surge of religious faith within the Soviet literary establishment. The expression of some kind of religious perception has been given a chance, it is true, but the thinking behind it cries out for closer analysis, particularly as an examination of the way in which religious them~s have been treated in some works suggests that the purpose behi~d their introduction could be less religious than ideological.

Like Soviet literature, Soviet cinema has in recent decades exhibited a persistent interest in religious themes, though this has usually been expressed in Aesopian fashion. The reason for the often elliptical and coded articulation of this interest has been the rigorous Soviet censorship. Lenin, as is well known, once termed the cinema "the most important art", because of its potential to reach a mass audience, and the Soviet authorities have traditionally subjected film to extremely close scrutiny. During the long Brezhnev years, films which raised serious questions about their possible political or ideational effect on viewers were placed on the shelf.) Instead of combing through Soviet cinema over the past thirty years for evidence of religious leanings, I have decided to concentrate on two distinguished modern filmmakers who, unlike other Soviet directors, have had the opportunity to make their religious commitment explicit: the late Andrei Tarkovsky (1932-86) and Andrei Konchalovsky (b. 1937). A number of other Soviet filmmakers also appear to have a keen interest in religious themes. One could cite, for example, the nameS of the late Vasili Shukshin (1929-74); the late Larisa Shepitko (1938-79); Elem Klimov (b. 1933), the recently-elected first secretary of the filmmakers' union; Rolan Bykov (b. 1929), ,director of the acclaimed Scarecrow (Chuche/o) (1984); and Georgian 'lfilm-maker Tengiz Abuladze (b. 1924), whose remarkable Repentance (Monanieba) (1984) took Moscow by storm when released in 1987. Since these individuals did not have the opportunity· to work in the West, however, the extent of their religious commitment remains problematic. It is politically impossible, even under the Gorbachev leadership, for a writer or film-maker to admit to being religious. Hence even writers like tpe eminent Kirghiz novelist Chingiz Aitmatov and directors like Abuladze, who are clearly focused on religious. themes, must, in interviews with Soviet and Western journalists, profess to being unbelievers. 2
