Last week in a pastel-green-walled suite, still smelling of paint and plaster, thick-lipped, bespectacled Ivan Vassilyvich Poliansky was busy considering and passing on the requests of all Soviet churches except the Russian Orthodox.* At work on the floor below was Georgi Gregorievich Karpov, chief liaison agent between the government and the Orthodox Church...
