Abstract	The impact of the emergence of the Bábí and Bahá'í religions in 19th-century Iran was felt soon after in neighboring countries, including Russia and territories under Russian rule. Diplomats, academics and intellectuals followed these movements closely. Bahá'í communities emerged in Russia mostly through Persian migration. Despite their suppression during Soviet rule, scattered remnants of these communities survived until recent political and social changes in the former Soviet Union allowed their full re-emergence. This phenomenon of persecution followed by emancipation was alluded to in the writings of Shoghi Effendi from the 1920s.
