История одной коммуникационной ошибки: миссионерский совет при св. синоде (16 марта 1945 – 19 октября 1949)

The article is devoted to one case of communicative misunderstanding when is the course of the campaign aimed at liquidating Greek Catholic Church, the Soviet authorities in charge for the control over religious organizations demanded the Orthodox Church should organize missionary departments. Authorities presupposed those departments were to only provide anti-Catholic propaganda, but due to the secret character of the official suppressing of Greek Catholic Church, the Moscow Patriarchy appeared not to comprehend (or preferred not to comprehend) the authorities intentions and started to organize missionary activity across the country. It took four years to get the situation reversed.
