What Went Wrong?

Exploring the pivotal role of religion in post-Soviet dynamics, this book details how the fall of the Berlin Wall prompted a shift towards democracy and religious freedoms in Russia and Ukraine. Initially, American evangelicals were invited to aid in restoring moral values, but the landscape changed dramatically with Vladimir Putin's rise, leading to an authoritarian regime and the invasion of Ukraine. The narrative contrasts the divergent paths of the two nations, revealing the complex interplay between faith, politics, and national identity in their histories.
