<br/><br/> Emily Baran explores why a powerful state singled out Jehovah's Witness farmers for removal from society, arguing that what happened in Bila Tserkva demonstrates both the sheer ambition of state plans for the Sovietization of borderland communities and a minority religious community's enduring resistance to secular, socialist ideals.
