ResumoChristian Democracy has emerged as one of the major currents in post-communist life. This article will examine the role of Christian Democracy in Russia, placing it in the broader context of European affairs and discussing the main programmatic points and the role of the movement in Russian politics. The paper will focus on the activities of the Russian Christian Democratic Movement (RCDM), by far the largest and most influential of the numerous Christian Democratic parties and movements. Russian Christian Democracy has a distinctive approach to such issues as the reconstruction of the Russian state, democracy, nationalism and the relationship with the West, and the role of Christian politics under post-communism. However, while much of the activity is both Christian and democratic, it is by no means clear that it adds up to Christian Democracy.
