Summary/Abstract: This special issue addresses the religion of the Finno-Ugric peoples, with a specific focus on animist religiosity and its contemporary expression in Finno-Ugric societies.* This is a subject that has recently featured prominently in significant forums, and this collection of papers is particularly influenced by discussions at two major conferences: the Congress of the European Association for the Study of Religions (EASR) in Cork in June 2022, and the Finno-Ugric Congress (CIFU XIII) in Vienna in August 2022. The contributions are based on reports presented at these events, in panels organised by the editors.
