Once a very Christian region, the population is now only 4% Christian. Churches face difficulties in being allowed to register officially. Religious literature is heavily censored and there is a very complicated system for retrieving literature that has been mailed. So complicated that many people have asked their friends abroad not to send them any literature. Main streams of Christianity are traditional Orthodox and evangelical.
