Adam Bondaruk leads the service at Bethany Slavic Missionary Church, which he built into the nation's largest Slavic Pentecostal congregation.

It's tough to figure out from this article who's right. I think 70 years of communist oppression and harassment of these people is going to take a long time to work out.
