%X The article deals with a repressive character of interrelations between the Soviet Government and Priesthood in Vladikavkaz in 1920-30s. The Church and the Believers experienced the most tragic time when the totalitarian regime came into being in the country in 1920-1930s. The author has proved that the clergy and believers considered by Authorities as a hotbed of opposition and dissidence were subjected to prosecutions. The prosecutions against the Church paved the way for a new political regime, bringing about fear, snitching and spy mania. The human values were replaced by new regime values, the national identity was destroyed and thousands of believers were eliminated.As a result, a good number of cultural values was destroyed. The major part of Russian Intelligentsia was kicked out of the country and deprived of their rights to vote. However, people have managed to preserve religion despite the anti-Church prosecutions of 1920¨C1930s.It is concluded that that the Soviet Authorities tried to influence on the Church through juridical regulations. Besides, the history of repressions towards the religious communities in Vladikavkaz has been traced.
