A long time ago, the religious thinker Chaadaev published a "Philosophical Letter," which is still regarded as a slander on Russia which he dated from "The Necropolis," i.e. Moscow. Anyone looking at Brezhnev's Russia must feel with horror what a prophetic term it was
Boris Shragin, 1977
Stalin's death and Nikita Krushchev's unsuccessful attempt at de-Stalinization significantly eroded official Marxist-Leninist ideology in the Soviet Union. Searching for a new alternative to the fading Communist ideology, many Russians turned toward traditional Russian forms of national and religious identity.
