Review
"Her study shows how the specific popovichi mentality was forged and then how it spread to society and influenced the intelligentsia to think of itself as a self-sacrificing, self-conscious, utilitarian, ascetic, morally superior force devoted to popular liberation...she presents a rich, colorful, and well-constructed picture of the popovichi from their childhoods to their adult mission."--"American Historical Review"
"Well written, argued, and footnoted, and deserve[s] a place in the canon of primary studies of Russian history."--"Choice"
"By elucidating the peculiarly Russian features of the intelligentsia and its hidden links to the Orthodox Church, Manchester has made a major contribution to the historiography not only of Russia, but of European modernity. Manchester's work supplements and corrects the works of earlier cultural historians, such as Reinhard Bendix and Liah Greenfeld, who have tried to discern religion's role in the rise of modernity."--"Church History"
"The aim is to challenge the traditional identification of the intelligentsia with Western ideas and, instead, to demonstrate the role of traditional, religious culture in shaping the worldview of these popovichi, the "secular sons" who made careers in the free professions and radical opposition. The argument and evidence are compelling...Without question, this monograph constitutes a major contribution to the literature."--"The Russian Review"
"The most interesting and significant discussions concern questions of ethos, values, moralities, memory, spirituality, secularity, identity, individuality, and selfhood...it is in exploring an important example of that widespread spirit of moral mission and determination to 'save' Russia, and perhaps the world-arrived at along a variety of paths-that Manchester's book is so valuable."--"Journal of Modern History"
"This wide-ranging, original volume makes a major contribution to our understanding of the role that Russian Orthodoxy, through priests' offspring, played in that country's social and cultural history. It is a model of definitive, exhaustive archival research."--Gregory L. Freeze, Brandeis University
"Very thought-provoking, an interpretational and empirical feast that will be enjoyed for some time to come."--"Journal of Ecclesiastical History"
"A thoughtful, well-researched and innovative study."--"Slavic Review"
"Well researched and vigorously argued. Offer[s] solid reasons to support revisionist arguments."--"Times Literary Supplement"
