Abstract
The relationship between the Russian national Identity and the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) is the subject matter of thorough analysis. One the one hand the notion of Russian National Identity is itself important, the role of ROC in its formation is another dimension to be scrutinized, on the other hand. The debate is centred on the question of whether or not the ROC has extravagant influence over the Russian political class which define major policies regarding notion of identity. This article examines the notion of Russian National Identity, emergence of identity debate in Russia and role of ROC in this debate during various periods of Russian history.
