A Contemporary Personal Pioneer Missionary Narrative WITNESS TO HISTORY 1979-2019 Assisting God's People in East-Central Europe, Russia, Armenia During the Late Soviet and Early Post-Soviet Years Witness to History 1979-2019 is a personal, narrative account of pioneering missionary service in the East-Central European Soviet Satellite states during the Late Soviet period, and in the Russian Federation during the Early Post-Soviet period. Historical records concerning Leninist, Stalinist, Khrushchev regimes gleaned prior to the 1970s, firsthand accounts of life under the Brezhnev regime, through the years of reform under Mikhail Gorbachev and the heady tenure of Boris Yeltsin---all the way to the current (and now clearly brutal New Soviet) tenure of Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, combine to present the story of the God's people under duress within the militant Marxist-Leninist system.
