Here, Steven Merritt Miner argues that this version of events, while not wholly untrue, is incomplete. Using newly opened Soviet-era archives as well as neglected British and American sources, he examines the complex and profound role of religion, especially Russian Orthodoxy, in the policies of Stalin's government during World War II.Miner 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xReligious aspects 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zSoviet Union 606 $aNationalism$zSoviet Union 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aNationalism 676 $a940.54/78 700 $aMiner$b Steven Merritt$f1956-$01539133 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780366503321 996 $aStalin's holy war$93789774 997 $aUNINA
