Welcome to the
Salvation Army Eastern Europe
Territory
In brief: Work was
initiated in Russia I 1910 by
Colonel Jens Povlsen of Denmark
but circumstances necessitated
his withdrawal after 18 months.
Army operations then recommenced
in St Petersburg 1913 as an
extension to the work in
Finland. After the February 1917
revolution the work flourished,
Russia became a distinct command
and reinforcements arrived from
Sweden. As a result of the
October revolution they had,
however, to be withdrawn at the
end of 1918, leaving 40 Russian
and Finnish officers to continue
the work under the extreme
hardship until the Army was
finally proscribed in 1923.
Salvation Army activities were
officially recommenced in July
1991, overseen by the Norway,
Iceland and the Faeroes
Territory with the arrival of
Lieut-Colonels John and Bjorg
Bjartveit. It became a distinct
command in November 1992. Work
was extended to Ukraine (1993),
Georgia (1993), Moldova (1994)
and Romania (1999). On 1 June
2001 the command was
re-designated the Eastern Europe
Command. The Eastern Europe
Command officially became a
territory on 1 March 2005.
Countries included the
Territory: Georgia, Moldova,
