metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Based on the documents of the State Archive of the Altai Republic, the State Archive of the Novosibirsk
  Region, the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the Historical Archive of the Omsk Region, the article examines the implementation of the confessional policy of the Soviet state in Western Siberia in the first post-war
  years. Since the end of 1947, the state’s confessional policy had been gradually changing, as a result of which
  the religious communities of the country were increasingly subjected to administrative pressure from the Soviet
  authorities. During the registration procedure, believers faced numerous difficulties due to the unwillingness of
  local authorities to have operating parishes on their territory. The Orthodox communities of Western Siberia were
  no exception. In the territory under consideration in 1948–1953, multiple facts of administrative harassment by
  regional authorities were recorded, which led to low church attendance and an increase in the number of religious
  rites performed by believers at home. Often religious communities were placed in conditions under which
  the further functioning of the parish became impossible. Therefore, believers were forced to stop using houses of
  prayers. In addition, in the late 1940s — early 1950s, the functioning of churches was influenced by the processes
  of migration of rural population to the city, as well as by social and socio-cultural transformations in Soviet villages,
  as a result of which the population tried to avoid public visits to religious sites. The above factors led to an increase
  in the activities of unregistered ministers of worship, around whom a permanent circle of believers was formed.
  This, in turn, provoked the emergence of a large number of illegally functioning religious groups whose activities
  could hardly be controlled by the Soviet authorities in Western Siberia.
