Women known as "shriekers" howled, screamed, convulsed and tore their clothes. Beleived by many to be possessed by demons, these central figures in the cultural drama of "klikushestuo" stirred various reactions among those who encountered them. While peasants and clergymen sheltered the shriekers, others analyzed, diagnozed and objectified them. The Russian Orthodox Church played an important role for, while moving toward a scientific explanation for the behaviour of the "klikushi", it was reluctant to abandon the ideas of possession and miraculous exorcism. "Possessed" examines the phenomenon of demon possession in rural Russia. Drawing from a wide range of sources - religious, psychiatric, ethnographic and literary - Worobec looks at "klikushestuo" over a broad span of time but focuses mainly on the 19th and early-20th centuries, when all of Russian society felt the pressure of modernization. Worobec's study is as much an account of perceptions of the "klikushi" as an analysis of the women themselves. Engaging broad issues in Russian history, women's history and popular religious culture, "Possessed" carries rich implications for understanding the ways in which a complex society treated women believed to be out of control.
