Abstract

This article examines the sociological aspects of the Name-Worshipping and Sophiological movements in Russia, which represent significant directions in the sociology of religion. These movements are unique phenomena in the context of religious sociology, as they combine philosophical and theological ideas that reveal the connection between names, symbols, and social processes. The study focuses on analyzing the influence of these religious ideas on social structures and the spiritual life of society.

Attention is given to how these movements shaped religious worldview and their influence on cultural and social institutions in early 20th-century Russia. Name-Worshipping, as a doctrine concerning the power and significance of names, is examined in terms of its impact on social relations, cultural traditions, and political processes. The sociological analysis of these movements allows for the identification of important connections between religious identity and social phenomena, including the role of religion in maintaining social stability and spiritual values within society.

Furthermore, the article explores contemporary interpretations of these ideas and their significance for a sociological understanding of religious processes. Special attention is given to discussions on how religious concepts influence public life, the transformation of cultural norms, and the interaction between religious movements and the state. As a result, this research contributes to the study of the interaction between religion and sociology, demonstrating how spiritual teachings can shape social reality.
