The model of Russian state policy in the sphere of freedom of conscience

Abstract

The article considers the model of the state
policy in the sphere of freedom of conscience established
in modern Russia which combines the following
characteristic elements: four-level gradation of religions
which has survived since the Russian Empire, the Soviet
model of state regulation of social spiritual life and
cooperation model. The author stresses the fact that
the existing model has not been conceptually formed
yet and gives a number of factors which complicate the
solution of the problem under study. The author also
makes some recommendations on perfecting the model
of state policy in the sphere of freedom of conscience.
