Drawing on firsthand testimonies, smuggled documents, and rigorous research, Michael Bourdeaux presents a vivid account of Baptist and Evangelical Christians who risked imprisonment and persecution to practise their faith behind the Iron Curtain. The book argues that religious dissent in the USSR was far more organised and determined than Western observers had previously recognised, revealing a powerful underground church movement operating in defiance of Soviet authority. Written with scholarly precision and quiet moral urgency, it remains an essential document for understanding the intersection of faith, freedom, and totalitarianism in Cold War-era Russia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888029741275,"sku":"2026200007071-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/01cfc39b-75cd-4948-9ce6-becb1691e0a1.png?v=1781753300","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007071-secondhand-religious-ferment-in-russia-protestant-opposition-to-soviet-religious-policy-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
