Soviet state-confessional policy in relation to the religious communities of the Khakass autonomous region in the second half of the 1970s — the first half of the 1980sстатья из журнала
Аннотация: Thus, the scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time, based on the analysis of archival materials of the National Archive of the Republic of Khakasia and regulatory documents of the late 1970s — early 1980s, the features of the legal and socioeconomic position of the religious communities of Khakasia (Russia, Southern Siberia) have been presented. Furthermore, we considered the specifics of state-confessional policy at the regional level and its compliance with national trends in the given period. We used comparative-historical, historical-systemic, and retrospective methods. The analysis of a wide range of historical sources, including archival materials, revealed that during the period under study, the all-union trend of changing state-confessional relations was reflected in the relationship between the state and religious associations in the Khakass Autonomous Region. Besides, we determined that from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, communities of the Russian Orthodox Church, Old Believers, Molokans, Evangelical Christians-Baptists, supporters of the Council of Churches of Evangelical Christians-Baptists, Pentecostals, Lutherans, Seventh-day Adventists, and Jehovah's Witnesses operated in Khakasia. Protestantism trends became the most widespread in Khakasia at that time, among which communities loyal to the government and religious associations that were not ready for a constructive dialogue with state and party structures stood out. Russian Orthodox Church communities demonstrated loyalty to the authorities. At the same time, in accordance with the state policy of Khakasia, the activity and growth of these communities were restrained. During the period under review, four communities of Evangelical Christians-Baptists and one community of the Russian Orthodox Church, Pentecostals, Seventh-day Adventists, and Lutherans were registered in Khakasia. In general, the number of religious associations that were officially registered was growing in the region. The activities of religious associations that categorically did not comply with the legislation on cults were subject to liquidation. The negative attitude towards the Soviet government and the legislation on cults in such communities in Khakasia in the mid — 1980s persisted. However, the activities of such communities were not completely stopped. In addition, a group of Pentecostals from Chernogorsk continued to demand emigration, which also reflected the all-union trend of increasing emigration sentiment.
