United Bible Societies, in its World Annual Report 1992, stated that it financed 4.8 million Scriptures for East Central Europe and the former Soviet Union during its 1991-92 year. American Bible Society is providing a $24-million gift over four years beginning in 1993 for Scripture to that part of the world.
The UBS annual report also stated that they provided material for 600,000 children's Bibles, 100,000 Bibles and 50,000 New Testaments with Psalms and Proverbs in Moscow, and 100,000 Bibles in Moldova. Societies in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and former Yugoslavia also printed Bibles. UBS reported progress in the development of a society in Bulgaria, along with importation of Bibles to the Central Asian republics of the former Soviet Union.
