I was in Soviet Union for a month in 1977 as well as 3 other countries that were satellites of USSR. While there, my appendix started to rupture and I was forced to stay in Russian hospital for almost 3 weeks, and had my appendix removed. Before that, I was with a group and we were all camping out. In the month I was in Russia I met a large number of people from all walks of life. NONE of them knew anything about Christianity. NONE of them had ever read a Bible nor did they own one. Their faces went absolutely blank when I brought up the Bible, none had ever had one or read one. None were Christian or even Jewish. Religion wasn't allowed. I saw numerous former churches, which were all shut down. We were told they were a planetarium or library or some such. Only a few people seemed to truly understand what was being done to the people, the rest were expressionless and showed no emotion. I later learned they were almost all brainwashed and under some sort of mind control.
