What Went Wrong?

History & Biography

“In October 1991, a delegation of Christian leaders met with President Mikhail Gorbachev, KGB officials, and other political leaders, journalists, and Russian Christians. The Soviet Union was collapsing, and a turn toward democracy seemed to be emerging. Now, four decades later, Russia is an authoritarian state, whose president, Vladimir Putin, attacked independent, democratic Ukraine in 2022 where war rages on. What went wrong? Noted scholars John Bernbaum and Philip Yancey deftly explore that question in political and cultural terms.”
