During the political turmoil in the mid-1930’s, a former army pilot, Nikolai Tuiman, was imprisoned because of his involvement with an Estonian Fascist movement. In the prison library, Nikolai found some books by J. F. Rutherford that made him realize that he was on the wrong track. After his release he traveled to Tallinn to the address he had found in a book that his wife had obtained, which was published by the Witnesses. With Brother Baxter’s help, Nikolai made a complete turnabout in his life, gave up his political activities, and became a peaceful and zealous Witness of Jehovah. Later, when the work was under ban, he was one of the pillars in the congregation, helping with underground printing. He remained faithful during some 15 years in exile in Siberia.
