The Right to Believe: Struggle of Christians in USSR (1977x19)

:

Today, 60 years after the Russian Revolution, the Russian Orthodox Church claims its supporters outnumber card-carrying Communists in the country by two to one. Hemmed in by restrictions, many Christians have chosen to accept life within the State, while others have vigorously asserted themselves and suffered accordingly. This week Everyman reports on the visit of the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Established Churches in the Soviet Union, and on those in Britain trying to maintain contact with Christians whose consciences cannot accept submission to the Communist State.
