Publisher's Synopsis
The Soviet and Religion is a book published in June 1930 by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. It is part of the International Conciliation series, number 261. The book explores the relationship between the Soviet Union and religion, particularly the Russian Orthodox Church, during the early years of Soviet rule. The authors examine the Soviet government's policies towards religion, including the confiscation of church property and the suppression of religious practices. They also discuss the reactions of religious leaders and believers to these policies, as well as the role of religion in Soviet society. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on the complex relationship between religion and politics in the Soviet Union.Includes Debate In The British House Of Lords, April 2, 1930; Decree Of The All-Russian Central Executive Committee And Soviet Of The People's Commissaries Of The R.S.F.S.R., April 8, 1929; Protest Of His Holiness Pope Pius XI Against Religious Persecution In Russia, February 2, 1930.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
