Zoroastrianism in Russia

Blagovery (Russian: Благоверие, Blagoverie; literally "Good Faith") or Russian Zoroastrianism is a branch of Zoroastrianism practised in Russia. It emerged in the 1990s under the influence of Pavel P. Globa, in Saint Petersburg, as an independent movement from usually endogamous Iranian Zoroastrians.[1] In the 2000s, it was joined by another community in Moscow, initiated by the Iranian priest Kamran Jamshidi.[2] The movement has close ties with Rodnovery (Slavic Neopaganism).[3]
