The Russian Orthodox Church (1986) concentrates on the recent history of the church, examining the situation of Russian Orthodox believers in the Soviet Union. It demonstrates that freedom of religion did not exist in the Soviet Union, although the church remained a vigorous and potent force in Soviet society which the authorities were unable to ignore.
Jane Ellis was at the time of writing a Senior Researcher and Editor of Religion in Communist Lands at Keston College, Kent.
