“… especially during the years of the Jimmy Carter Administration, Russian believers in particularly Baptists were assumed to be spies for the American President whom the world knew as a born again Baptist.

Pastors and church lay leaders were imprisoned; their wives were pressured to divorce them; children were discouraged from writing to their imprisoned fathers …”~Nik Ripken
