U.S.S.R. in Retrospect Exhibit Poster

To illustrate religious persecution in the former Soviet Union, Baylor University professor Christopher Marsh tells of a 23-year-old Russian woman sentenced to 10 years of forced labor for handing out Christmas cards.

Called “U.S.S.R. in Retrospect,” the exhibit coincided with the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Soviet Union. It was held in the W.R. Poage Legislative Library on Baylor University’s campus. It included stories of religious persecution, and artifacts from the Soviet Union’s religious and political past.
