The aim of this contribution is to explore the hypothesis that specific "practices of silence" in Russian culture can be traced back to an extensive application of religious codes rooted in pagan traditions. This exploration intends to clarify potential controversies surrounding how the "power to silence" has facilitated the emergence of new "spaces of discourse," alongside the subsequent revitalization of codifying criteria imbued with mythological characteristics (cf. Augieri, 1991:31-32; Lotman, Uspenskij 1975). These criteria, having severed ties with their original metaphysical context, have become entrenched within a framework characterized by a sense of "inner supremacy." Indeed, while the implicit norms governing taciturnity are frequently enshrined within explicit legal structures, their underpinnings reside in religious doctrines and societal customs: practices such as communion, deference, and participation delineate specific social roles that ensure stability while permitting a partial retreat from quotidian existence (Freeden 2022; Leone 2017). Furthermore, an authoritarian apparatus can significantly shape communication systems even prior to the production of individual texts, which may be compelled into varying degrees of dissimulation (Volli 2015). This essay reveals the intricacies involved in navigating religious signs within what is termed "Russian silence," providing insights into broader socio-cultural dynamics engaged in reconciling diverse perspectives within a secular political framework that cannot be attributed to any singular political election but perhaps presupposes some form of "intellectual invariant" guiding its orientations.
