ABSTRACT
The article describes the Pentecostal movement in the USSR. The main attention is paid to the late Soviet period, when various forms of activism began to take shape in the evangelical community. Chronologically, the activism of religious communities coincided with the emergence of other activist communities that formed the Soviet dissident movement. The author examines in detail the three most prominent components of Pentecostal activism: the social (help and support of members of their community/confession), evangelical (missionary) and political (human rights) aspects. Pentecostal activism is not unique to the evangelical community. For Pentecostals, the author singles out only one specific form of activism – evangelisation activity within the Evangelical community itself.
