Summary/Abstract: Evangelical Christians and Baptists are Evangelical denominations representing Protestant beliefs in Russia. They share a similar approach to doctrinal matters and at one point in history united in to a single ecclesiastical organisation. Domestic factors, in particular, as well as foreign influences played an important role in the Russian origins of Evangelical groups, which contributed to the Evangelical movement’s religious inquisitiveness, spiritual fervor, and readiness for martyrdom around the world. In order to develop a thorough understanding of Evangelical Christians and Baptists in Russia,one needs to explore their political and cultural backgrounds.
