Author of The Merchants of Moscow 1580-1650 (Cambridge UP, 1980)
"A bold and remarkable book....This stimulating book draws our
attention to the full range of Moscovite religiosity."--Modern
Greek Studies Yearbook
"This is a fresh, well-documented, and important work, filling a
near-total void in the history of religion in Russia in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as opposed to the history of
the church, or the history of literature. There is simply no work
like it, whether in English or Russian, which analyzes the changes
and the complexities in Rusian spirituality during these
centuries."--Brenda Meehan-Waters, University of Rochester
"It is a most welcome addition to the scholarly
literature."--American Historical Review
"Bushkovitch's superb book...breaks important ground by reopening
the field of religious history and sets a high standard for works
on religion yet to come."--The Russian Review
"Bushkovitch's book is a masterful work, based on a vast array of
published and unpublished material."--Religious Studies Review
"Paul Bushkovitch presents an important contribution to the social
history of Russia....The author writes well and has presented a
vast body of important material concisely and directly."--The
Historian
"The importance of this work is that Bushkovitch goes against the
traditional viewpoint that the 'westernization' of Russia began in
the seventeenth century....The Polish-Ukrainian influence upon
russia is one of the author's real achievements."--Sixteenth
Century Journal
"Bushkovitch's monograph sets an important precedent that should
inspire further study."--Journal of Modern History
