Abstract
he post-war decades were perhaps the most tragic period in the history of the Christian churches of Transcarpathia. The state ideology of the USSR in the form of militant atheism, excluded the existence of an alternative worldview. It was make to weaken, and moreover, to eliminate the influence of the church and the clergy. The relatively "liberal" policy of the mid-1950s was replaced by a hard position of the Soviet government and, correspondingly, the USSR at the end of the 1950s and early 1960s, with respect to religion and the Church. Despite all the harsh trials, the Reformed Church was not able to break, the church continued to function as an important consolidating factor for the Hungarians people of the region. Church was a serious opponent of atheistic power plans. The Hungarians' linguistic isolation from the Russian-speaking (partly Ukrainian-language) state apparatus was in her favor, in particular, making harder "illuminating" her activities and processes in her environment for the apparatus of the Council for Religious Affairs. The article examines the processes that took place in the environment of the Reformed Church of Transcarpathia in the postwar period. The nature of the relationship between its leaders and the Soviet authorities is determined. The analysis of the internal struggle between the leaders of some Reformed groups is made. Are revealed the peculiarities of the Soviet administration policy in the post-war period in the relation to the Reformed church of Transcarpathia which was the important ethnic consolidating factor for the Hungarians of the region in the context of denationalization processes introduced by the Kremlin. The strategy for survival in the new conditions of the Reformed Church of Zakarpattia and individual behavior of its administration and parishioners are outlined. Criminating of “anti–Soviet political activities” in the days of Czechoslovakia or Hungary, participation in different political parties.
