This educational resource, translated from Russian to English, is an abridged version of a larger and fuller work entitled "Историяевангельскиххристиан-баптистовУкраины, России, Белоруссии. 1867-1967 гг.", which was published in two parts in 1999 and 2001. This work, "Краткаяисториярусско-украинскогобаптизма", which was published in 1995, also serves as an educational resource for Russian-speaking students in Bible schools and higher-level theological institutions within the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (made up of republics which formerly belonged to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). In this book the life and activities of Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian Baptists receives fundamental coverage from the 1930′s and 25-year period following World War (1942-1967). It can prove to be useful not only to those who are specifically studying the history of the Eastern tri-Slavic Baptists but also to English-speaking people who are simply interested in the histories of socio-religious phenomena in Russia.
