The Islamic Threat to the Soviet State by Alexandre Bennigsen explores the complex relationship between Islam and Soviet authority, analyzing how Islamic identity and religious movements posed a potential challenge to Soviet control, especially in the Muslim-majority regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus. Drawing on historical, political, and cultural analysis, Bennigsen examines how underground religious networks, cultural resistance, and ethnic identity quietly persisted under Soviet repression. The book offers valuable insight into the role of religion as both a social force and a subtle form of political dissent within the officially atheist Soviet system.
