The status and dynamics of religiosity in modern Russia are considered. The distinctive features of religious consciousness and behavior have been fixed proceeding from the system of indexes and empirical indicators developed. In the course of comparative representative studies, which have been accomplished in the metropolitan area over the last three decades on the basis of a single methodology, it has been fixed that, at the level of self-identification, approximately half of the population define themselves as believers, this value decreasing over time. The use of the complex typology of religiosity shows that the share of church believers proper, who observe the canons at the level of both consciousness and behavior, is substantially smaller: in the last five years, it has been within 6–8%. The motives to participate in religious rites are predominantly of a general cultural character, determined by family, relational, and national traditions.

基于大都市区研究的现代俄罗斯宗教动态

考虑了现代俄罗斯宗教信仰的地位和动态。从制定的指标体系和实证指标体系出发，确定了宗教意识和行为的鲜明特征。在过去三年中基于单一方法在大都市区完成的比较代表性研究过程中，已经确定，在自我认同层面，大约一半的人口定义自己作为信徒，这个价值会随着时间的推移而下降。使用复杂的宗教类型学表明，在意识和行为层面遵守教规的教会信徒的比例要小得多：在过去五年中，这一比例一直在 6% 至 8% 之间。
