This book addresses the complex intersection of secret police
operations and the formation of the religious underground in
communist-era Eastern Europe. It discusses how religious groups
were perceived as dangerous to the totalitarian state whilst also
being extremely vulnerable and yet at the same time very
resourceful. It explores how this particular dynamic created the
concept of the "religious underground" and produced an extremely
rich secret police archival record. In a series of studies from
across the region, the book explores the historical and legal
context of secret police entanglement with religious groups,
presents case studies on particular anti-religious operations and
groups, offers methodological approaches to the secret police
materials for the study of religions, and engages in contemporary
ethical and political debates on the legacy and meaning of the
archives in post-communism.
