stbasil7.jpgAs part of the build up to the festive season Socialist Appeal is issuing some articles by Marxists looking at the role of religion in the labour movement. This article written in 1945 analyses the relationship between the Soviet state and the Russian Orthodox Church. There was a clear dividing line between Lenin's approach to this question and the zig-zag policy later adopted by Stalin. First published in Workers International News, October 1945.
