| Zusammenfassung: | A study of 40 protest demonstrations by Soviet Baptists reveals that dissident religious groups can attain some degree of control over their political fate. By confronting the regime in areas of its weakest ideological and coercive strength and by mobilizing group members from many localities, Baptist demonstration participants suffered fewer detentions, injuries, and judicial sentences. It is concluded that, by means of similar power-calculations, religious leaders can to some degree predict and thus determine the outcomes of conflicts between dissident congregations and hostile regimes. |
