Studying Religions with the Iron Curtain Closed and Opened by Anonim Book PDF Summary

The book provides a systematic treatise about the history and present of the Academic study of Religions in the Central and Eastern Europe.

After the political changes in 1989, the field is successfully re-established, particularly in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, Russia, and Romania.
