Abstract. The aim of the paper is to identify the causes of divisions and frictions among believers in the intricately organised communities of Evangelical Christians and Baptists (ECB) in the middle of the XX century. The study is novel in that it identifies the tensions between believers on the eve of the religious split of Evangelical-Baptist associations involving archival sources introduced into scientific use for the first time. The paper examines the impact of the activities of local authorities on the intensification of discord within the communities. The author analyses the problem of relations between Evangelical Christians and Baptists and Christians of Evangelical Faith, as well as Russian and German groups within the registered associations of the ECB. As a result, it has been proved that the split in the Evangelical-Baptist communities in the early 1960s happened not accidentally, but due to the planned anti-religious policy of the Soviet state.
