After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, new and independent Ukraine opened its doors to preaching the Gospel. For CCX, which operated in those days, this collapse was only an impetus for the magnification of its activities, but not the commencement of work. After all, since 1989, the American student organization InterVarsity (still a partner of CCX) participated in so-called "academic exchanges" in Kyiv, Nizhyn, Mykolaiv, Gorlivka, and other cities. American and Ukrainian students were already working hard preaching the Gospel to students.
