Legislation Act of Dramatic Oppression of the Religious Life. The Leninist
Decree of Disestablishment
The article refers to the promulgation of a decree in Soviet Russia on the
Disestablishment and restriction of religious life. Church press in Russia did
not overlook the centenary of this event. An extensive and documented “dossier”
of the issue has recently been published, under the signature of the archpriest
Vladislav Tapin, on Pravoslavie.ru. Immediately after the draft of the “decree”
was published, the Church begun to firmly disapprove and criticize the proposal
of nationalizing all Church assets. The tremendous pain and suffering of the
Russian Orthodox people became an open wound even before the adoption of the
“decree”, through numerous abuses, constraints, vandalism against the Church
and its servants.
