Abstract

Religion in Russia
Fischer, Louis | April 9, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses religion in the Soviet Union. The anti-Soviet campaign on the ground of alleged religious persecution has provoked a remarkable demonstration of unity in the bourgeois world. The Pope, between 1922 and 1924, sought to exploit the Bolsheviks' opposition to Greek Orthodoxy in order to undermine it and convert its members to Roman Catholicism. Now, when the Vatican no longer negotiates with the Kremlin for advantage, he appears as the champion of the Eastern church. Greek Catholic clergy, never so happy as when they vent their ancient traditional enmity against the Curia, today occupy a common platform with the Vatican.
