The relationship between the state and secular clergy from 1917 to the 1930s

The study deals with the interaction between the church, believers and authorities in the first decades of the Soviet state. A historiographical review helps reveal the crucial periods of research on their relationship and describes the major achievements in this regard. Since an atheistic approach forced researchers to regard liberation from religious consciousness as a goal, the studies were politically charged until the 1980s. Nowadays, there is a need for more detailed information about the life of secular clergy and religious communities. Based on the archives, the author demonstrates the relationship between the authorities and the religious community of the Church of the Kazan Mother of God in the churchyard of Borisogleb in Baglachevo, Ulybyshevskaya Volost, Vladimir District, Vladimir Province. The fate of its parish is described as well.
