This book presents the first large overview of late Soviet
religiosity across several confessions and Soviet republics, from
the 1960s to the 1980s. Based on a broad range of new sources on
the daily life of religious communities, including material from
regional archives and oral history, it shows that religion not only
survived Soviet anti-religious repression, but also adapted to new
conditions. Going beyond traditional views about a mere "returned
of the repressed", the book shows how new forms of religiosity and
religious socialisation emerged, as new generations born into
atheist families turned to religion in search of new meaning, long
before perestroika facilitated this process. In addition, the book
examines anew religious activism and transnational networks between
Soviet believers and Western organisations during the Cold War,
explores the religious dimension of Soviet female activism, and
shifts the focus away from the non-religious human rights movement
and from religious institutions to ordinary believers.
