Reviews

Valuable. 'Godless Communists' provides an abundance of evidence for belief as a complex and changing cultural phenomenon.
*Slavic Review*

The best and most comprehensive treatment of its subject to date.
*Choice*

Elegantly written.... A sophisticated, unjaundiced treatment of Orthodoxy after 1917.
