The Cultural Center “Our Texas” launches a digital exhibition on Russian religion in the 20th century, featuring over 20 vintage books and Eastern Orthodox icons donated by the families of Russian emigrants. The collection includes a wide range of texts, from Christian literature to Soviet-era fiction and non-fiction. The online version of the exhibition is accessible via the center’s website complete with companion lectures on YouTube, marking the start of the “Religion in Russia through Books” series curated by Dr. Stanislav Panin.
Dr. Panin, a religious studies expert, leads the program that also includes in-person lectures and book exhibits at the center through May. The first lecture, on May 1, focuses on Russian immigrants in the United States. It examines how religion sustained cultural identity and helped to build social networks in the diaspora while also exploring the interplay between Russian and American spiritual traditions.
