More about the book
The book investigates the persistence of mass political loyalties during significant social and economic changes, focusing on Hungary's transition from communism. It reveals how Churches played a crucial role in maintaining right-wing party allegiances despite communist oppression. Local clergymen employed creative strategies to protect church institutions, which helped shield their followers from socialist influences. This dynamic facilitated a continuity of political identity from the pre-communist era to the post-communist landscape, highlighting the complex interplay between religion and politics.
