The Russian Orthodox Church (1986) examines the situation of Russian Orthodox believers in the Soviet Union. It demonstrates that freedom of religion did not exist in the Soviet Union, although the church remained a vigorous and potent force in Soviet society which the authorities were unable to ignore.

The Russian Orthodox Church has survived more than seventy years of the most brutal and sustained attempts to eradicate religion that has ever been. New opportunities mean new challenges and demand huge new resources.
