This book, based on extensive research including in the Russian and Vatican archives, charts the development of relations between the Catholic Church and the Soviet Union from the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 to the death of Pope Pius XI in 1939. It provides background information on the animosity between the Orthodox and Catholic churches and moves towards reconciliation between them, discusses Soviet initiatives to eradicate religion in the Soviet Union and spread atheist international communism throughout the world, and explores the Catholic Church’s attempts to survive in the face of persecution within the Soviet Union and extend itself. Throughout the book reveals much new detail on the complex interaction between these two opposing bodies and their respective ideologies.

The thesis focuses on the place of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church during World War II- one of the most tragic periods in the world history. At the time of the war, the population of western Ukraine, which was Greek-Catholic in its majority, experienced occupation of two regimes, Soviet and Nazi, which set up challenges for the locals. The thesis will focus on the relations of the Church with Soviet state and present state policies towards the UGCC, which interfered with its normal life. In this context, official church policies will be presented, and the methods church leaders used to "normalize" the situation will be described. This discussion will lead to deeper analysis of the adaptation of official church policies by local Greek-Catholic priests. The influence of national and religious identity on clerical understanding of politics will be taken into account. At this point, I will argue that three groups of clergy can be identified on the basis of their response to Soviet policies. What are these groups? How did average priests adapt to new realms? Why did they act in the way they did? All of these questions will be answered through the analysis of primary NKVD-KGB documents found in a couple of major Ukrainian archives.

Although present-day Ukraine has only been in existence for something over two decades, its recorded history reaches much further back for more than a thousand years to Kyivan Rus’. Over that time, it has usually been under control of invaders like the Turks and Tatars, or neighbors like Russia and Poland, and indeed it was part of the Soviet Union until it gained its independence in 1991. Today it is drawn between its huge neighbor to the east and the European Union, and is still struggling to choose its own path… although it remains uncertain of which way to turn. Nonetheless, as one of the largest European states, with considerable economic potential, it is not a place that can be readily overlooked. The problem is, or at least was, where to find information on this huge modern Ukraine, and since 2005 the answer has been the Historical Dictionary of Ukraine in its first edition, and now even more so with this second edition. It now boasts a dictionary section of about 725 entries, these covering the thousand years of history but particularly the recent past, and focusing on significant persons, places and events, political parties and institutions as well as more broadly international relations, the economy, society and culture. The chronology permits readers to follow this history and the introduction is there to make sense of it. It also features the most extensive and up-to-date bibliography of English-language writing on Ukraine.
