Description

This scholarly examination explores the intricate relationship between Albania's communist regime and the Albanian Autocephalous Orthodox Church across two decades of transformation. From 1945 when communists assumed power to 1967 when Albania became the world's sole atheistic state, the book traces how religious life adapted under totalitarian rule. Drawing on extensive archival research, it analyses the regime's multifaceted strategies to control, utilise, and subordinate the Church, moving beyond simplistic narratives of state oppression versus ecclesiastical resistance. The study reveals a far more complex dynamic where cooperation, survival, and suppression intertwined throughout this pivotal period in Eastern European religious and political history.

Key Features

Covers the critical 1945-1967 period when Albania transformed into the world's first and only atheistic state with complete religious suppression.

Based on extensive archival research that provides authoritative primary source evidence about communist-Church relations in Albania.

Examines the Albanian Autocephalous Orthodox Church's strategies for survival and adaptation under communist totalitarian control.

Challenges oversimplified narratives by revealing the complex interplay of cooperation, survival, and suppression between regime and religious institution.

Published by Routledge as part of their Religion, Society and Government in Eastern Europe series for academic credibility.
