Containing Balkan Nationalism

Containing Balkan Nationalism focuses on the Bulgarian movement for recognition of the independent status of their national church from the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, with the effect of tearing apart mixed Greek-Bulgarian-Serbian Orthodox communities. Vovchenko shows how, conversely, Russian policymakers, intellectuals, and prelates worked together with the Ottoman government, Balkan and other diplomats, and rival churches, to contain and defuse ethnic conflict among Ottoman Christians through the promotion of traditional supraethnic religious institutions and identities.
