St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Humanitarian University in Moscow has published a new book by Viktor Kosik, Русское церковное зарубежье: ХХ век в биографиях духовенства от Америки до Японии (The Russian Church Diaspora in Biographies of its Clergy from America to Japan, Moscow 2008). The author is a specialist in Balkan studies and who used to teach a course on the history of Russian church emigration at St. Tikhon’s University. In 2000 he published his findings on the Russian Church in Yugoslavia in the period from 1920 through the 1940s. This new study, a work of more than 400 pages, represents an ample spectrum of clergy belonging to various ecclesiastical jurisdictions. These clergy and monastics were born in Russia and left the country before WWII. We hope that many more biographies will be appended to the second edition of this valuable book. Archpriest Peter Perekrestov from San Francisco and Nun Vassa (Larin) from Munich helped the author to gather relevant information.
