Abstract: The revival of national religious culture in the Soviet society in the 1940s is shown in the article. The authors reveal an aspiration of believing people to restore on a full scale the traditional Orthodox parish culture. They showed the presence of alternative Orthodox culture and Orthodox-pagan folk beliefs. The informal national religious culture had a serious impact on governmental bodies in the 1940s. Under its pressure the positions of the Orthodox Church in the Soviet society became stronger.
