Comparative study of the two Russian laws of 1990 and 1997 on freedom of conscience and religious associations. The first one is based on the principles of legal equality of religious associations and neutrality of state. The second establishes limitations of legal capacity for new religions associations, privileges for "traditional religions” and attests to state patronage of "traditional religions”.
