This chapter focuses on relations between the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church (EELC) and the state authorities during the Soviet occupation. We will also examine how Soviet-era policy on religion and the EELC’s activity were viewed after the fall of the Soviet Union. Both historians and clergy have generally seen the church as a victim of the Soviet regime, even though as early as the 1990s, the EELC was scrutinized by historians for its collaboration with the Soviet regime.
