Softcover book from 1999 concerning the long-repressed Russian Orthodox Church and a host of groups seeking to evangelize the Russian people since the fall of Communism. This book assesses the legitimacy of the Orthodox attempt to reclaim the spiritual and moral heart of the Russian people and to retain their adherence in a new, pluralistic world where many Christians and followers of other traditions seek the right to establish themselves.
