Abstract	The question of religious education is one of the most controversial questions in the current discussions on religion and politics in Russia. Most notably a new subject, Fundamentals of Orthodox Culture (FOC), is of interest because it differs markedly from Western European approaches to religious education. Referring to "Culturology" FOC combines an introduction into Russian culture and patriotism with moral education and the imparting of knowledge about Orthodox Christianity. According to its own self-image FOC is a non-denominational subject, but an analysis of two widespread textbooks will be used to show that FOC is, in all respects, Orthodox. (As Provided).
