Robert E. Smylie surveys Samarkand and Russian cities, noting restored mosques and churches now museums, the absence of church life among youths, and official atheism. He recalls imperial palaces, Lenin era sites, and the paradox of preserved heritage under a communist state. He senses limited personal liberty yet faint glimpses of possible freedom.
