dc.description.abstractDrawing upon archival, published and oral sources, as well as recent studies on the correlation between religion and nationality, this article argues that the formal "reunification" of the Greek Catholics with the Russian Orthodox Church became a successful "subaltern strategy", ensuring the survival of the Greek Catholic Church through the Soviet period. The article demonstrates that the "Church within the Church", which came into existence because of "reunification", for decades preserved its separate identity within the Russian Orthodox Church. The "Church within the Church" did not oppose the regime’s assimilation policy directly, yet positioned itself as Ukrainian and therefore as non-Orthodox (because non-Russian) and even as non-Soviet. This article examines these specific issues within the wider context of the survival of the Church in the Soviet state.en_US
