Mais c'est sans doute la derniere partie qui retiendra le plus l'attention des lecteurs d'Istina, puisqu'elle traite du dialogue oecumenique, a travers l'analyse de publications non officielles des annees 1990, du dialogue de la ROC avec les Vieux catholiques et des rencontres avec des bouddhistes. in: ISTINA, Vol. LX (2015). Many important aspects of Russian Orthodoxy today are explored: theological debates, ecumenism and inter-faith dialogue, the role of the starets or elder, icon painting, the role of women, the controversy over translating sacred texts into Russian, eschatological sects, Church-State relations, the canonisation of twentieth-century martyrs, the significance of pilgrimage. Each essay is accompanied by an excellent bibliography. Xenia Dennen, in: Journal of Ecclesiastical History Vol. 66 (2015).
