Abstract
In the article are researched the changes in the church-state relations that took place in the west republics of the USSR in the 1988-1991. The author analyses the evolution of the republican governments` position concerning the religion and the church. In the article it is noticed that when the distance between the republican government and the Union centre becomes wider, then the change of the republican leadership's politics in the religious question becomes evident, especially concerning the «national» confessions.
