Hiroaki Kuromiya has carefully analyzed these newly discovered documents, and in doing so, reveals a fascinating picture of private life and religious belief under the atheist Stalinist regime. Kuromiya convincingly elucidates the mechanism of the Soviet secret police and explores the minds of non-conformist believers -precursors to the revival of dissidence after Stalin's death in 1953.
Reviews / Votes
'A compelling narrative that sheds light on an otherwise unknown story... It will be read with great profit and much interest by scholars working on the Stalin period and on questions of religious belief and practice in Soviet society.'- Robert H. Greene (Slavic review; vol 72:02:2013) 'Conscience on Trial is an outstanding glimpse into a fascinating aspect of Soviet history... Kuromiya has provided a valuable and interesting look into the inner workings of the Soviet judicial system in the Stalin era.'
- Kayla Hester (H-War(H-Net Reviews), February 2014) 'This is an excellent piece of scholarship based on exemplary source criticism that gives a fascinating insight into the workings of the Soviet punitive organs and raises interesting questions about private life and the practice of religion in the Soviet Union.' - Christopher Gilley (Europe East Asia Studies vol 66:05:2014)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
