Summary/Abstract: Religious modernism in Russia is an intellectual movement at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Its essential idea was to strive for Russia’s revival based on reformed Orthodoxy, adequate to the origin of the capitalist social-economic system in Russia, or achieve a new Christian civilization with a respective vision of economic conditions. Religious Neomodernism, in contrast, is an intellectual movement at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, quite popular in contemporary Russia, but not identified with the return of Orthodoxy to public life or with another of its reformed versions. However, it refers to some of the ideas of Orthodox modernism.
