      abstract = {"Conscience on Trial reveals the startling story, kept  secret for sixty years, of ordinary citizens caught up in  the elaborate machinery of political terror in Stalinist  Ukraine. In 1952, fourteen poor, barely literate  Seventh-Day Adventists living on the margins of Soviet  society were clandestinely tried for allegedly advocating  pacifism and adhering to the Saturday Sabbath. The only  written records of this trial were sealed in the KGB  archives in Kiev, and this harrowing episode has until now  been unknown even within the Ukraine. Hiroaki Kuromiya has  carefully analyzed these newly discovered documents, and in  doing so, reveals a fascinating picture of private life and  religious belief under the atheist Stalinist regime.  Kuromiya convincingly elucidates the mechanism of the  Soviet secret police and explores the minds of  non-conformist believers -precursors to the revival of  dissidence after Stalin's death in 1953."--Publisher's  website.},
