Remmel, Atko (2015) (Anti)-religious Aspects of the Cold War: Soviet Religious Policy as Applied in the Estonian SSR. In: Behind the Iron Curtain. Estonia in the Era of the Cold War. P. Lang, Frankfurt am Main, pp. 359-392. ISBN 9783631668498
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The author demonstrates that the implementation of state policy on religion was not particularly effective in the Estonian SSR. It was mild compared to several other regions of the Soviet Union, and particular campaigns “on the religious front” frequently depended on the discretion of local officials. Soviet policy on religion directed a great deal of attention toward new secular Soviet ceremonies and managed rather effectively to graft new rites into society.
