abstract in English:	The book provides a systematic treatise about the history and present of the Academic study of Religions in the Central and Eastern Europe. The origins of the discipline can be found as late as the early 20th century, but promising beginnings were disrupted by the rise of the Marxist-Leninist critique of religion. After the political changes in 1989, the field is successfully re-established, particularly in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, Russia, and Romania.
