Abstract

This article aims to analyze the specificity of Christianity in Central Asia during the Soviet regime by looking at how central political power dealt with religions both according to the local context of Central Asia’s “colonial” character, and to changes in its policies toward nationalities. This study thus hopes to shed light on the diversity of religious policies during the Soviet regime, which resulted in differentiating the positions of confessions depending on their degree of subordination to power, the image they had or did not have of “national religion,” and their relations to fellow coreligionists abroad.
