Aus sowjetischer Sicht

The first United States minister to Mexico was Joel R. Poinsett. To the ordinary mind, however, his chief title to fame does not rest on his filling this or a number of other official posts; but on the fact that he made known to the world the beautiful Christmas flower which in honor of him was named "poinsettia." But even this discovery was a result of his diplomatic appointment; for it was while on his mission to Mexico that he observed it and brought it to the attention of botanists. It is the purpose of this article to study only the minister's personal conduct while in Mexico and his relations with the government and people, explaining the grounds for the charges made against him of meddling in the internal affairs of the country.

Using the example of the Orthodox and Protestant churches, the process of interference by state authorities in the internal affairs of religious organisations in 1917–1928 is considered. The mechanisms of influence on believers, clergy and the leadership of these structures are analysed. It is determined that the main pressure was exerted to obtain, including public, support for all decisions of state bodies concerning domestic and foreign policy. It is established that the authorities planned to reduce the number of parishioners of the canonical Russian Orthodox Church by granting preferences to other confessions and religious movements, as well as its fragmentation by inspiring schisms. An attempt to transfer the management of the Orthodox Church formed by state bodies in a group of clergy in a non-canonical way has been studied.
