DESCRIPTION:Dominic Martin (Oxford University): Russian (schizo-)patrioti
 sm: ancient Orthodox perspectives on the war in Ukraine. \n\nThis paper\
 , which is based on 10 months’ fieldwork in 2022 in the Russian Far East
 \, describes divergent perspectives on the war in Ukraine within an Orth
 odox ‘Old Believer’ congregation. President Putin’s speeches and the pos
 ters that bedeck Russia’s Pacific Maritime region invoke a familial orga
 nic community of ‘one’s own’ (svoi) as justification for ‘protecting’ th
 e Donbas. On the one hand\, as family-centric adherents in Russia’s mess
 ianic vocation\, many Far Eastern Old Believers criticise what they see 
 as the state’s ‘pseudo-‘ or ‘schizo-patriotic’ discourse. On the other h
 and\, one zealot who was firmly in favour of the ‘Special Military Opera
 tion' tried to convince me that I myself should fight in the invasion of
  Ukraine. In these perplexing encounters what is the scope and the limit
 s of ‘taking seriously’? Can one take over informants’ immanent critique
 s of bellicose ideologies while at the same time dismissing the aliennes
 s of pro-war views? The paper draws on the theories of Schmitt\, Bloch a
 nd Dumont.?
