In 2018, Dr Irina Paert of the University of Tartu (and one of the co-founders of balticorthodoxy.com) published the Russian-language anthology Pravoslavie v Pribaltike: religiiia, politika, obrazovanie, 1840-e - 1930-e gg. [Orthodoxy in the Baltic Provinces: Religion, Politics, Education, the 1840s to the 1930s]. The book contains 14 essays by Russian, Latvian, Estonian, and German academics on a wide range of subjects, including church architecture in the Baltic region, the role of the Orthodox clergy in the formation of the local intelligentsia, and the politics of Old Believer communities in inter-war Latvia and Estonia. The book can be downloaded for free here.
We are happy to present the first English-language review of this work, written by Professor Grigorijus Potašenko of Vilnius University for the journal Lithuanian Historical Studies (no. 23, 2019, pp. 216-222).
