Objectives, tactics, and actions of communist authorities towards the Christian religious minorities between 1945 and 1956

Abstract

The article aims at presenting the outline of the tactics applied by the communist authorities towards religious minorities. Its ultimate aim was, regardless of whether we consider it to be a real plan or not, the liquidation of the institutional form of religions (Churches), and later on the religion per se. The below presented theses ought to be regarded as an invitation to the discussion and completion of suggested conclusions, or revision, or the criticism proving their inadequacy.
