Kevin Klose went to Moscow in 1977 as bureau chief for the Washington Post. Over the next four years he made friends with many Russians. Back in Chicago, he maintained the friendships because the people had sacrificed so much to make them and faced retribution for continuing the friendship. Whatever other factors motivated them, the Russians conversed with the American to fill a spiritual vacuum in their lives. They reached out to one who embodied the freedom, choice, values, and personal creativity they craved but their government callously denied. So they stood against what they abhorred to express a longing for what they admired. Christians understand that search for reality. We seek God to find the truth and absolutes that this life advertises but never delivers, the values and ideals that philosophy, psychology, and society seek to produce but cannot.
