From the supplier: Boris Yeltsin signed Russia's law on religious freedom on Sept 26, 1997, and the law regulates church and state in Russia as well as acknowledging the contributions of Russian Orthodoxy, Christianity, and Judaism to Russian culture. This law is a revision of a 1990 law on the same subject and this vacillation on how much religious liberty Russians will have is a deeper struggle to define a civic religion, a set of religious beliefs providing metaphysical meaning to the social and political community.
