Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
For a while Christians considered the Soviet Union to be a great potential mission field; nevertheless when the door for the missions opened wide, it happened unexpectedly. Despite thousands of missionaries and millions of dollars invested immediately in spreading the gospel in the post-communist world, after a short-term tide, church growth declined back to pre-perestroika level. The research made during that period demonstrated that the so-called awakening had nothing to do with the biblical concept of repentance (i.e. a radical change of a person’s worldview). An explanatory model of the worldview transformation dynamics in post-communist society is developed as an attempt to understand what actually happened with the people worldview distribution during the collapse of Soviet Union.
