Drawing on extensive archival research and an original database of election results, this book explores the paradox of political persistence by examining Hungary's often tortuous path from pre- to post-communism. Wittenberg reframes the theoretical debate, and then demonstrates how despite the many depredations of communism, the Roman Catholic and Calvinist Churches transmitted loyalties to parties of the Right. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Church resistance occurred not from above, but from below. Hemmed in and harassed by communist party cadres, parish priests and pastors employed a variety of ingenious tactics to ensure the continued survival of local church institutions. These institutions insulated their adherents from pressures to assimilate into the surrounding socialist milieu. Ultimately this led to political continuity between pre- and post-communism. 410 0$aCambridge studies in comparative politics. 606 $aChurch and state$zHungary$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aElections$zHungary$y20th century 607 $aHungary$xChurch history$y20th century 615 0$aChurch and state$xHistory 615 0$aElections 676 $a322/.1/094390904 700 $aWittenberg$b Jason$f1963-$01512791 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784303003321 996 $aCrucibles of political loyalty$93746890 997 $aUNINA
