Summary: | (ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.) Only modestly - on the back cover - does this fine book proclaim itself as a Festschrift produced in honour of the outstanding Canadian Mennonite scholar and activist, Walter Sawatsky. Tatiana Nikolskaia (St Petersburg) has gained access to state archives and retrieved documentation about the origins of the devastating schism among Russian Baptists which originated in the early 1960s and persists even today. Perhaps one who lives in Belarus and commutes weekly to Moscow might be expected to hold unconventional opinions, but his eulogy of President Alexander Lukashenko, the dictator of Minsk, for his social policies supporting his country's poorest (p. 340) is controversial. |
