Abstract

Annotation. The publication analyzes anti-Soviet activities of Jewish religious communities in UkrSSR during the post-war period. The negative influence of the Soviet State Security on limitation the religious life of Jewish communities in Ukraine in the defined time was examined. It was proved that the anti-Soviet activity of Jewish religious communities was based on combining religious and national aspects, defending the original culture of the Jewish people, involving both internal and external influences in the struggle against the Soviet ideological system.
