{"product_id":"russian-refuge-1","title":"Russian Refuge","description":"In 1987, when victims of religious persecution were finally allowed to leave Russia, a flood of immigrants landed on the Pacific shores of North America. By the end of 1992, over 200,000 Jews and Christians had resettled in a land where they had only recently been considered \"the enemy\". \"Russian Refuge\" is a comprehensive account of the Russian immigrant experience in California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and British Columbia since the first settlements over two hundred years ago. Susan Hardwick focuses on six little-studied Christian groups - Baptists, Pentecostals, Molokans, Doukhobors, Old Believers, and Orthodox believers - to study the role of religion in their decisions to emigrate and in their adjustment to American culture. The book also has narratives from 260 personal interviews.","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54218450633048,"sku":"9780226316116","price":40.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/russian-refuge-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
