The Russian Orthodox Church and the Soviet state are both preparing for the commemoration of the "Baptism of Rus' ", but they do so in different ways. The church, in her very limited publications, emphasises the great importance of this occasion for the Russian people, while the Soviet authorities use their extensive propaganda apparatus to do all they can to minimise this. An important methodological difference in their approach is that the church avoids any confrontation, and certainly expresses no criticism of the Soviet point of view, while the Soviet authors subject the church's view to a frontal attack, accusing her of using the jubilee for "propaganda". The large number and polemical character of the Soviet publications indicates that the political authorities consider the celebration of a thousand years of Christianity in Russia to be of great importance in the struggle for Russian national consciousness. By re-interpreting and annexing the past, the Soviet government wishes to represent itself as the legitimate heir of Russian history. The Russian Orthodox Church, in her turn, by accentuating her solidarity throughout the centuries with the weal and woe of the Russian nation, wishes to justify her present patriotic stance towards the ruling powers. In this . article I shall examine the publications of the Russian Orthodox Church on the millennium of Christianity in Russia. * The publications of the Russian Church on the subject are limited to a few articles in the Journal of the Moscow Patriarch ate (JMP), the only regularly-published journal of the Russian Orthodox Church; 1 a long article by Archbishop Pitirim (the jou~nal's editor-in-chief), which appeared elsewhere; 2'and a two-page introduction in the church

It is common practice to date both Russian neo-nationalism and the Russian religious revival back to the late 1960s, when the first Russian nationalist and Orthodox Christian tracts began to appear in samizdat, sometimes jointly and at other times quite separately.· Samizdat is a good yardstick of the genuineness of a trend of thought, being free from institutionalised censorship and thus more accurate than the official" press in mirroring developments in society. Nevertheless, the printed press should not be ignored, especially those authors who are subjected to frequent party-line attacks, those who find it difficult to print their works, and those whose works are immediately bought out by their readers yet rarely see second and third printings. Here we primarily have in mind the rural writers (derevenshchikl), whose publications go back to the '60s. At first their works were marked above all by patriotic anguish for their motherland ~ Russia and its people. In their writing, the national element appeared long before a conscious discovery of the Christian "soul" of the nation as the kernel of its spiritual health. This di~covery, or at least its revelation, has been. very cautious and gddual, at first appearing almost exclusively in a cultural and . aesthetic form. In representative art, more 'and more landscapes appeared with onion-domed churches in either the background or the foreground, at first without crosses, more recently with crosses. Films with similar landscapes gradually evolved to include genuine religious themes with national-nostalgic overtones. The symbiosis of the national and the religious (together with severe national self-criticism) was particularly striking in Tarkovsky's film Andrei Rublev, in which
