Summary:

Abstract: This study seeks to explore the role of peasant women in resistance to the antireligious campaigns during collectivization and analyze how the interplay of the state and resistors formed a new culture of religion in the countryside. I argue that while the state's succeeded in controlling most of the public sphere, peasant women, engaging in subversive activities and exploiting the state's ideology, succeeded in preserving a strong peasant adherence to religion prior to World War II. It was peasant women's determination and adaptation that thwarted the party's goal of nation-wide atheism.
