3rd Party Webinar: ‘Letters from Moscow’ hosted by Global Scholars Canada – Saturday, 10 June at 1300 UTC

Developments in Russia over the past two decades have led many to wonder what ever happened to the visions of and openness to democracy hailed by Russian presidents Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin, and some might even say the early Putin.

On Saturday, 10 June 2023 at 1300 UTC, Drs. Wendy and Adrian Helleman will discuss there soon-to-be-available ‘Letters from Moscow’, an account of their time teaching at Moscow State University (pictured) in the mid-1990s. The letters are rich and inquisitive, poignant in their capture of a brief period where new freedoms and openness post-perestroika, seemed possible.

The interdisciplinary symposium, which promises to be a rigorous and faith-filled discussion on the opening and closing of Russian society since the 1990s, will begin with this context but will move to wider and more recent political, ideological, and religious cultural shifts that have brought the country to its more isolated situation today.

I hope you will join the symposium, which will be in-person and online. Special guests, Global Scholar, Dr. David Koyzis, Dr. Jim Payton and the Reverend Dr. Andrey Kordochkin (via Zoom from Spain) will also discuss and debate the topic that is critically important to geo-political and Christian movements around the world. Dr. Peter Schuurman, Global Scholars Canada President, will serve as moderator.
