Opening the Red Door – The Inside Story of Russia`s First Christian Liberal Arts University

Told by the school's founder and president, this is the story of the rise and fall of the first accredited Christian liberal arts university in Russia's history, offering unique insight on Russia's post-communist transition and the construction of a cultural-educational bridge between the two superpowers.
