Book Synopsis The Soviet debate on religion in the 1920s. Principal positions by : Christopher Selbach
Download or read book The Soviet debate on religion in the 1920s. Principal positions written by Christopher Selbach and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2003-09-08 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2001 in the subject Politics - Region: Russia, grade: 1.0 (A), University of Leeds (POLIS), language: English, abstract: The Soviet debate of the 1920s surrounding religion was mainly based on the Marxist dogma with its materialist notion of religion, but it nevertheless involved a great diversity of ideas. The discussion shows a tendency to increasingly acknowledge the complexity of religion, thereby stressing the need for harsher measures. Under Stalin's totalitarianism, however, the controversial philosophical dicussion was bound to come to an end: it was replaced by another straightforward attempt to eliminate religion physically. The essay takes a close look at the evolution of a debate that shaped the religious policies of the Soviet Union.
Book Synopsis A Sacred Space Is Never Empty by : Victoria Smolkin
Download or read book A Sacred Space Is Never Empty written by Victoria Smolkin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Bolsheviks set out to build a new world in the wake of the Russian Revolution, they expected religion to die off. Soviet power used a variety of tools--from education to propaganda to terror—to turn its vision of a Communist world without religion into reality. Yet even with its monopoly on ideology and power, the Soviet Communist Party never succeeded in overcoming religion and creating an atheist society. A Sacred Space Is Never Empty presents the first history of Soviet atheism from the 1917 revolution to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Drawing on a wealth of archival material and in-depth interviews with those who were on the front lines of Communist ideological campaigns, Victoria Smolkin argues that to understand the Soviet experiment, we must make sense of Soviet atheism. Smolkin shows how atheism was reimagined as an alternative cosmology with its own set of positive beliefs, practices, and spiritual commitments. Through its engagements with religion, the Soviet leadership realized that removing religion from the "sacred spaces" of Soviet life was not enough. Then, in the final years of the Soviet experiment, Mikhail Gorbachev—in a stunning and unexpected reversal—abandoned atheism and reintroduced religion into Soviet public life. A Sacred Space Is Never Empty explores the meaning of atheism for religious life, for Communist ideology, and for Soviet politics.
Book Synopsis Religion in the Soviet Union by : Source Wikipedia
Download or read book Religion in the Soviet Union written by Source Wikipedia and published by University-Press.org. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 63. Chapters: USSR anti-religious campaign, Society of the Godless, Bezbozhnik, Religious persecution during the Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina, Ivolginsky Datsan, Religion in Latvia, Council for Religious Affairs, Council for the Affairs of Religious Cults. Excerpt: A new and more aggressive phase of anti-religious persecution in the Soviet Union began in the mid 1970s after a more tolerant period following Nikita Khrushchev's downfall in 1964. Yuri Andropov headed the campaign in the 1970s when it began to rise. This new persecution was following upon the 1975 amendments to the 1929 anti-religious legislation and the 25th party congress. The CC resolution in 1979 would play a key role in this period as well. The intensification of anti-religious activities had continued since the early 70s; between 1971-1975 over 30 doctoral and 400 magisterial dissertations were defended on the subjects of atheism and criticism of religion. In 1974 there was a conference in Leningrad dedicated to 'The Topical Problems of the History of Religion and Atheism in the Light of Marxist-Leninist Scholarship'. This persecution, like other anti-religious campaigns in the USSR's history, was used as a tool to eliminate religion in order to create the ideal atheist society that Marxist-Leninism had as a goal. The persecution was disguised under false pretexts, which the state used in order to promote or defend a better international image of itself. After Khrushchev left office, the anti-religious campaign led underneath him was criticized. The same anti-religious periodicals that had participated in the campaign criticized the articles of past contributors. The anti-religious propaganda in those years was criticized for failing to understand that causes of religious of belief as well as similarly failing to understand that...
Book Synopsis World Christianity and Marxism by : Denis R. Janz
Download or read book World Christianity and Marxism written by Denis R. Janz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-04-09 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denis Janz argues that the encounter with Marxism has been the defining event for twentieth century Christianity. No other worldview shook Christianity more dramatically and no other movement had as profound an impact on so many. Now the Cold War is over and as we approach the end of the century we need, Janz says, to ask ourselves what happened. This book is the first unified and comprehensive attempt to analyze this historic meeting between these two antagonistic worlds of thought and action. The intellectual foundation of this antagonism is to be found in Karl Marx himself, and thus the book begins with an account of Marx's assault on Christianity. All the diverse philosophical and political manifestations of Marxism were ultimately rooted in Marx's thought, and supporters based their greater or lesser hostilities toward Christianity on their reading of his critique. Janz follows this with an overview of Christian responses to Marx, extending from the mid-19th century to the onset of the Cold War. He argues that within this time frame Christianity's negation of Marx was not absolute; the loud "no" to Marx bore with it an important, if muted, "yes." With this intellectual groundwork in place, Janz turns to an examination of the encounter as it unfolded in specific national contexts: the United States, the Soviet Union, Poland, Nicaragua, Cuba, China, and Albania. The experiences of these countries varied widely, from Poland where Christianity maintained its strongest independence, to Nicaragua where a Christian alliance with Marxism contributed to revolutionary change, to Albania where a Stalinist government attempted to abolish religion entirely. From this survey emerges the evidence that world Christianity has clearly internalized some of the prominent features of its antagonist, suggesting that the "Marxist project" is not as utterly defunct as many have assumed.
Book Synopsis The Plot to Kill God by : Paul Froese
Download or read book The Plot to Kill God written by Paul Froese and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008-08-06 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The story of the survival of religion in the Soviet Union is one of the great surprises of the end of the twentieth century. Indeed, it is so surprising that many social scientists write it off, attribute it to cultural nationalism, or ignore it. It is assumed that religion simply was given a temporary reprieve and would shortly succumb to 'secularization.' Professor Froese demolishes this assumption.”—Andrew Greeley, author of The Catholic Imagination "The Plot to Kill God is refreshingly creative in bringing evidence from a neglected but hugely important case to bear on thinking through social scientific theories of religion. This is an important contribution to a field greatly in need of just this kind of solid historical case analysis.”—Christian Smith, University of Notre Dame ”A wonderful book that will break the hearts of Richard Dawkins and all the other angry atheists. After more than 70 years of intensive educational efforts and brutal persecution of religion, there were no fewer believers in Russia than in the United States.”—Rodney Stark “'Scientific' socialism in communist countries turned out to be a hollow faith incapable of replacing more traditional religions. Paul Froese beautifully shows why, and how this provides us with useful lessons about the continuing power of religion today.”—Daniel Chirot, University of Washington "Froese compellingly tests many theories about the causes of religious belief, strength, and resurgence. The Plot to Kill God highlights the close link between human nature and religious faith, thus making a broad argument about the anthropological foundation of religion while also using the tools of social science to advance our knowledge, concepts and theories about religion and society."—Margarita Mooney, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
