There seems to be a sense of hopelessness that can only be cured by the Gospel of Christ. Russia is a revival waiting to happen- are her church leaders up to the task?
True, and combined with the long standing influence of Humanism and Secularism, which although failed, has still left serious scars. Also a sense of trying to emulate the hedonistic lifestyles of the west.
Are their church leaders up to the task? Well there are very big evangelistic efforts going on in the ex warsaw pact countries and they are having some effect. The native (orthodox) church is fairly active - but doesn’t get on well with the missionaries.
