Summary/Abstract: When speaking about desecularization we keep in mind that the term refers simultaneously to methodological level and to specific social practices that are very characteristic of the post-Soviet space. One can see that the current situation of recent and rapidly acquired religiosity is similar in some respects to Soviet atheism as a characteristic of social consciousness: in both cases, personal choice reflects the ideological landscape, and contemporary public culture performs the function of compulsion to no lesser degree than the Soviet ideological diktat.
