The Relations between the Episcopate and Authorities in the Soviet Union in 1948-1958 by the example of Metropolitan Veniamin (Fedchenkov)
In the Soviet Union the relations between the diocesan Bishop and the civil authorities were regulated via the Сommissioner of the Council for the Russian Orthodox Church Affairs. We can observe the development of these relations by the example of Metropolitan Veniamin (Fedchenkov) who consistently headed three Bishop’s Offices in the USSR in 1948 – 1958.
