The Bolshevik Persecution of Christianity by Francis McCullagh presents a thorough examination of the efforts by the Soviet regime to suppress religion, particularly Christianity, in post-revolutionary Russia. McCullagh, a journalist and correspondent for the Daily Mail, explores how the Bolsheviks systematically dismantled religious institutions, exiled or executed religious leaders, and persecuted believers in an effort to establish atheism as the state-sponsored belief system. The book documents the widespread destruction of churches, the closing of seminaries, and the forced conversion of priests. McCullagh also addresses the government's attempts to manipulate religion for political purposes and the resilience of the Christian community despite the oppressive environment. First published in 1924, The Bolshevik Persecution of Christianity is an important historical text that highlights the religious conflict that arose in the early years of Soviet rule and the consequences for religious freedom under communist dictatorship.
