About the book: 1967 / On the territory of our country, the Orthodox Church was, and is currently, the largest religious organization. In what ways does Orthodoxy - one of the main directions of the Christian religion - keep part of its adherents in its fold? How did he manage to achieve this, despite the profound social changes that occurred during the years of Soviet power, despite the colossal achievements of the cultural revolution? In what ways does the adaptation of the Orthodox religion take place? V. E. Titov examines these questions in detail in his book. He carefully analyzes the origin, history, dogmas, rituals of Orthodoxy, and reveals the reactionary essence of religion. Much space is devoted to exposing the attempts of the Orthodox clergy to reconcile religion and communist ideology. The book is written in figurative, accessible language. It will be of interest to both propagandists and a wide range of readers..
