I like it, but could you clarify what an NKVD major is and what is his role? For instance you could say “… A merciless Major in the feared NKVD secret police force…”

Wow! Awesome! Thanks! I knew it needed something, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.

What’s the inciting incident? That is, what did the girl do to arouse the officer’s wrath?

The logline doesn’t paint a clear image of the obstacle, main action and a tangible goal. I think it is because the logic of the premise is hard to understand.
I know the soviet union was harsh on religion but I wasn’t aware of significant anti christian tendencies even in it’s idealistic early days.
Even if this was the case a logline should be able to paint a clear picture to anyone that hears it without the need for them to do any research about the subject matter.
Perhaps try to focus on the obstacles, antagonist and a tangible goal rather than the environment and social/political movements.
Tried a stab at it my self:
1937, with a few weeks of Autumn left, when a girl’s missionary parents are killed by a merciless major gone mad the young introverted girl must flee from Moscow to Bern to avoid being captured and save her own life.
