Abstract
The article is dedicated to the Nazarites spiritual community – an occult group, which in the 1920s-1980s was part of the eclectic based New Religious Movements in Bulgaria. The aim of the study is to analyze its structure and activities in the context of suppression of freedom of thought, conscience and religion and of escalating atheistic policy in the communist state. Atheistic politics in this period imposed restrictions on both officially recognized and registered denominations and occult communities incriminated by the authoritarian regime after 1934. The research is done from historical perspective and is based on preserved archival documentation.
