After the Berlin Wall fell, a group of Christian colleges in the U.S seized the opportunity to help build a faith-based university in Moscow. Told by the school's founder and president, this is the story of the rise and fall of the first accredited Christian liberal arts university in Russia's history, offering unique insight on Russia’s post-communist transition and the construction of a cultural-educational bridge between the two superpowers.
The book explores the pivotal role of religion in shaping the post-Soviet landscape of Russia and Ukraine following the fall of the Berlin Wall. It examines the initial movement towards democracy and religious freedom, influenced by American evangelicals, and contrasts it with Vladimir Putin's later authoritarian shift, marked by hostility towards religious organizations and the invasion of Ukraine. By highlighting the divergent paths of these two nations, the narrative reveals the complex interplay between faith, politics, and national identity in their histories.
