Despite the upheavals of the 20th century, the Russian spiritual tradition persisted throughout Soviet and émigré culture, continuing into the present day. This three-volume set, covering 1917–2017, explores how Orthodox Christian spiritual energy—often in disguised, symbolic, or subtextual forms—served as a hidden source of inspiration for major writers, composers, painters, and film directors. Volume III focuses on the period 1965–1991, a time when artists frequently worked under state atheism, yet their creative output remained subtly infused with religious motifs. The authors argue that even seemingly secular novels or films can reveal a confessional foundation, though it may require careful research to uncover. This volume examines how spiritual tradition survived repression, exile, and postmodern secularism, influencing key works of Russian literature and art. A vital resource for understanding the interplay between faith and creativity in late Soviet culture.
