The document Together Towards Life: Mission and Evangelism in Changing Landscapes (TTL) is a timely and relevant milestone on the way of defining ecumenical strategies and tactics for the life of Christian communities in our rapidly changing and increasingly globalized world. It is of current interest especially for Russian missiology because, as a filed of studies, missiology has taken shape only in the last twenty years. The pre-revolutionary history of Russian Orthodoxy knows several names of missionary devotees, and conceptualizing missionary activities began in the late 19th century, but this movement was cut short following the establishment of Bolshevik regime in 1917. The missiology that originated in the West in the 20th century has only recently been brought to study in Russia. More than half a century of membership of the Moscow Patriarchate in the World Council of Churches (WCC) has partially made up for the shortage of ecclesial and theological fellowship of churches from the ideologically opposing systems. Still, so far perceptions associated with ecumenism in mass consciousness of Russian believers (not only Orthodox) are vague and distorted.
