Die »Sowjetisierung« der Russisch Orthodoxen Kirche.
- Authors
Beliakova, Nadezda; Beliakova, Elena
- Abstract
In this article, the concept of »Sovietization« is introduced, concerning the phenomena of the existing Christian Church in the atheistic state. It includes multidirectional processes: the Soviet authoritie's policy, directed to look for instruments and institutions to bring the Church under its control and to take advantage of it; the dissemination of Socialist ideas in the Church circles; the process of adaptation by Church leaders and structures of the new Soviet reality; the translation and export of Socialist ideas by the Church leadership; the transfer of the Soviet models of relations between state and Church into other countries; and the adoption and adaptation by Orthodox believers of the existing institutions, practices and values of the Socialist state and Soviet society.
