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"-- 650 0 Secret service |zEurope, Eastern |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Anti-communist movements |zEurope, Eastern |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Post-communism |zEurope, Eastern |xHistory |y21st century. 651 0 Communist countries |xReligion |xHistory |y20th century. 700 1 Kapaló, James Alexander, |eeditor. 700 1 Povedák, Kinga, |d1979- |eeditor. 776 08 |iOnline version: |tSecret police and the religious underground in communist and post-communist Eastern Europe |dLondon ; New York, NY : Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2022 |z9780429331466 |w(DLC) 2021007565 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6363_280000000000000_30947_KAP |70 |8REF |9162313OSA |bOSA |d2023-05-26 |eOSA |l0 |o363.28/30947 KAP |r2023-05-26 |w2023-05-26 |yBK |cReference 920 01 WokjNqer 992 01 363_280000000000000_30947_KAP |bWTW_XRZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_WZQVS_FPA 966 |cIn the Research Room
