It discusses how religious groups were perceived as dangerous to the totalitarian state whilst also being extremely vulnerable and yet at the same time very resourceful. It explores how this particular dynamic created the concept of the "religious underground" and produced an extremely rich secret police archival record. In a series of studies from across the region, the book explores the historical and legal context of secret police entanglement with religious groups, presents case studies on particular anti-religious operations and groups, offers methodological approaches to the secret police materials for the study of religions, and engages in contemporary ethical and political debates on the legacy and meaning of the archives in post-communism.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aRegional studies2bicssc 7aSocial research & statistics2bicssc  asecret police; operations; religious underground; Eastern Europe1 aKapaló, James A.4oth1 aPovedák , Kinga4edt1 aPovedák , Kinga4oth40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/7246570zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication
