In 1952, fourteen poor, barely literate Seventh-Day Adventists living on the margins of Soviet society were clandestinely tried for allegedly advocating pacifism and adhering to the Saturday Sabbath. The only written records of this trial were sealed in the KGB archives in Kiev, and this harrowing episode has until now been unknown even within the Ukraine. 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"--Publisher's website. 606 $aTrials (Political crimes and offenses)$zSoviet Union$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aTrials (Political crimes and offenses)$zUkraine$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPacifists$zUkraine$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAdventists$zUkraine$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aSoviet Union$xPolitics and government$y1936-1953 615 0$aTrials (Political crimes and offenses)$xHistory 615 0$aTrials (Political crimes and offenses)$xHistory 615 0$aPacifists$xHistory 615 0$aAdventists$xHistory 676 $a345.470231 700 $aKuromiya$b Hiroaki$0128089 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828287703321 996 $aConscience on trial$93964006 997 $aUNINA
