Synopsis
This text provides a detailed historical study of Islam under post-war Soviet Communism. Yaacov Ro'i describes and analyzes all aspects of Islam which relate to the Soviet domestic scene, with the purpose of demonstrating how and why it survived in the face of Soviet repression and secularization. The first part of the book deals with establishment Islam - the four spiritual directorates, the registered prayer houses and religious personnel. The second focuses on unofficial Islam: those groups and personnel which operated without any official registration. The third section surveys the Islamic practice and observation of fasts, festivals and rites of passage. The final part of the volume is devoted to the political - regime policy, its implementation in different regions, and the implications of Islam's survival for the national consciousness of Muslim ethnicities.

Review
[T]his massive and meticulous history of Islam in the Soviet Union's postwar decades provides indispensable background.
(Foreign Affairs )[In] this magnificent work... [Ro'i] is admirably sympathetic to the Muslim situation and able to place it within the general religious context of the USSR from the 1943-46 Stalin thaw to the late Khrushchev repression of 1958-64 and even the Gorbachev attempt to repress Islamic nationalism in 1986-87.
(W.J. Parente, University of Scranton Choice )Ambitious... concerns all aspects of Islam in the entire territory of the Soviet Union through four postwar decades.
