Summary/Abstract: One significant form of the religious revival in the post-Soviet space is the revival of sacred sites, a revival that takes many forms. The (re)emergence of a sacred geography can be linked to identity claims, as laying claims to a sacred space often corresponds to the process of laying claims to a particular identity (Vovina 2006).
