I am indebted to the SSRC, whose research grant made -this work possible, to Professor David Martin of the LSE, who read and advised me on several chapters, and to the staff at the Centre for the Study of Religion in Communist Society in Keston, Kent, who gave me full access to their extensive collection of samizdat (self-printed) and other sources on the subject of religion in the USSR. Lastly, I would like to thank those Soviet scholars who discussed my work with me when I visited the USSR in 1973.
