Abstract

In the article the religious life of Greek Catholics of Stanislav at the time of the Soviet totalitarianism is analized (on the basis of published and archival documents and historiographical material). The organizational structure of the UGCC in the mid of 40's and 50's of the twentieth century destroyed the arrests of bishops and many priests and believers, the obtrusion of regime of Orthodoxy and repressions against recalcitrants. But people keep in their hearts the Christian faith and allegiance to the Church, despite the difficulties and the obstacles.
