The relationship between religious and ethnic identities has long been a topic of fascination and debate. The article provides an overview of research on religious and ethnic identity conducted by Russian scientists. Only works indexed in the Scopus database are included in the analysis. A theoretically informed case study analysis is presented in this article. Considering the views of scholars across various disciplines, the article explores how religion and ethnicity have been perceived to influence one another. Drawing on Russian scientists’ studies, the article explores how religious identity might impact perceptions of ethnic in-groups and out-groups, potentially impacting inter-ethnic relations. Additionally, it examines studies on how people’s ethnic identity can affect how they understand and practice their religion. By synthesizing the views of Russian scientists, the article aims to provide a thorough understanding of the heavy and active relationship between religious and ethnic identities in social and humanitarian research. This analysis provides significant insights into the characteristics of the social fabric of religious and ethnic identities, while also providing a wider perspective on the construction of identities in multireligious and multiethnic societies.
