Soviet Evangelicals since World War II

More about the book

The book explores the resilience of Soviet evangelicals who, nearly wiped out during Stalin's purges, regrouped in the post-war era through successive revival waves. It highlights the formation of a state-sanctioned union among four evangelical denominations and delves into the internal conflicts, particularly focusing on the significant Reform Baptist split of 1961, when Soviet authorities attempted to dismantle the movement once more. This narrative sheds light on the complexities of faith and survival under oppressive regimes.
