"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in experienced modest initial growth in Eastern Europe and Russia following the entrance of full-time missionaries, primarily in the early and mid 1990s. Active church membership in many nations of the region peaked between approximately 1995 and 2000, but has since experienced retrenchment and decline leading to the consolidation or closure of some congregations and missions. Deficiencies of the institutional missionary program and a lack of vision for strategic outreach, in conjunction with local factors, hindered membership growth and convert retention. Declining receptivity to religious proselytism, as well as governmental restrictions in some areas, pose a guarded outlook for the future of the LDS Church in the region." [Author]
