The chapter on religion contains
this observation: Though the Soviet
government stresses the separation
of Church and State, it is virtually
impossible for anything to exist
apart from the state under the
Soviet system"
The report contains a table show
ing the number of churches, priests

figures give some insight into the
status of religious affairs in the
