Abstract
The article is devoted to the history of Pentecostal spiritual awakening in Siberia, Russia. It includes information about the first missionaries from Belorussia and describes the further continuing of Pentecostal movement in Baikal region and its transformation till our time. The authors analyzed this period of time of 33 years, the difficulties which the church faced in the post-Soviet Union society. The information presented were taken from the Pentecostal church’s “Salvation in Christ” archive, local newspapers, the interviews with senior pastor of the church “Salvation in Christ” Chita. The arguments we have presented in the article prove that Pentecostal ministry have changed under the influence of Siberian native culture. The church has responded the people’s needs. That made this kind of Chistian faith so attractive for local residents. That’s why Pentecostal church remains the fastest growing Christian denomination in Russia. Research methods: diachronic, historical, dialectical.
