About Me
- Name: Eric John
- Location: Madison, Wisconsin, United States
I am an Orthodox Christian with an M.A. in Russian Studies, having written my thesis on the Russian Orthodox mission in Alaska. At some point in the future, I would like to do PhD. work on historical cultural interractions between Native Americans and Euro-Americans, focusing on the role of Euro-American and Native American Christian missionaries. I enjoy researching, writing, and sharing what I've discovered with others.

for speaking the truth about persecuation of Christians in the Soviet Union. Pray that Christ our God give him
rest with the Saints and forgiveness of sins. Amen.
