It is possible to download an open source copy of Mark Elliott's, The Arduous Path of Post-Soviet Protestant Theological Education which considers thirty years of history with its successes and challenges. The changing relations with the church and state as well as the involvement of foreign faculty. Gordon-Conwell Professor Don Fairbairn describes it as "a rags-to-riches-to-rags tale, full of excitement and heartbreak…many lessons…about the transitory nature of political favor." The lessons learned from this analysis could be helpful as the global Body of Christ seeks to prepare leaders with a firm foundation in God's word that understand the times and know what their nation should do (1 Chronicles 12:32).
