Soviet Baptisms
More than one out of three babies born in the Soviet Union during 1963 were baptised, according to a survey by the Leningrad Sociological Research Institute. In 1964, however, the number dropped to one in five. The survy showed the highest proportion, more than threequarters, were children of parents who had no secondary education. One Western' source said this was because “unskilled workers are less likely to conceal the fact of baptism than professional people, who have more to lose.”
