The Collection of Lénárd Ödön is a combination of items which would usually be representative of collections on religious resistance under the socialist dictatorship. It is at the same time the outcome of manifest resistance against the dictatorship and a private collection of documents based on Lénárd’s personal research. The trajectory of the collection offers insights into the ways in which archives which had been private were institutionalized after 1989.

This ad-hoc collection, located in two archives in Budapest, includes archival materials about Lajos Ordass, the bishop of the biggest evangelical church district in Hungary (1945-1948). The communist leaders stigmatized him as the “leader of the evangelical resistance.” After having spent years in prison, Ordass lived isolated from other church leaders, and his writings were prohibited. In this context, simply collecting his legacy constituted a form of opposition to the dictatorship.

Control of the cultural life in Latvia was one of functions of the Latvian Communist Party (LCP) Central Committee (CC). The collection of documents furnishes rich information about the formulation and implementation of LCP CC cultural policy, about ‘deviations’ from the official path committed by the cultural opposition, and about attempts to use Latvian culture for the political ends of the Soviet regime in 1940-1991.
