The year 2016 marked 25 years since the disbandment of the Soviet Union.  This conference seeks to explore the long-term impact of the Soviet state in the sphere of religion.  How have Soviet approaches been adapted or rejected in post-USSR countries?  How have post-Soviet states responded legally to the restrictive regulation of religion, theappropriation of religious property, and other results of the Soviet regime?  Conference languages will be Georgian, English, and Russian.
