From the Book Church Shift
Even though Ukraine was not officially communist anymore, the people of the nation still lived under the mindset of oppression. For many years the Soviet Union had taught the Ukrainian people to unquestionably submit to authority. Though the Soviet Union was gone, people still couldn't imagine a government that respected them. So the government felt free to treat people as sheep and servants. There was no accountability in the leadership as there is in a democracy. People continued to hide their thoughts and feelings deep down inside and pretended to agree with the government.
Question - Are we those people who always say YES but deep down do not agree and resent decisions made by government, leaders? Why didn't we speak out in a positive manner that can contribute to an organisation, government policies or even in church?
