Revelations from the Russian Archives — Anti-Religious Campaigns

Library of Congress (exposition / exhibit) — 1992 (exhibit), online mirror

Anti-religious campaigns target every religion: the Orthodox Church first (by 1939, about 500 of more than 50,000 churches remain open), but also Catholics, Protestants, Islam — and Judaism, attacked so relentlessly that its organised practice becomes nearly impossible.
