A believer may now enter a virtual chapel, light a candle through drag-and-drop, send an online prayer request, or worship virtual icons and relics. In recent years, however, Church leaders and public figures have become increasingly skeptical about new media. The internet, some of them argue, breaches Russia's \"spiritual sovereignty\" and implants values and ideas alien to Russian culture. This collection examines how Orthodox ecclesiology has been influenced by its new digital environment, such as the intersection of virtual religious life with religious experience in the \"real\" church, the role of clerics on the Russian Web, and the transformation of the Orthodox notion of \u003ci\u003esobornost'\u003c\/i\u003e (catholicity), asking whether and how Orthodox activity on the internet can be counted as authentic religious practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMikhail Suslov is a Marie Curie fellow at Uppsala University's Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies.
