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. In the 2000s, it was joined by another community in Moscow, initiated by the Iranian priest Kamran Jamshidi. The movement has close ties with Rodnovery (Slavic Neopaganism).
