Rare Film Footage of Notable Russian Orthodox Thinkers at the St. Sergius Institute of Paris Between 1926 and 1934


While all the seminaries in Russia were closed, the Saint Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute in Paris stood as the only Russian seminary for the training of future Russian priests. The video shows many well-known Russian Orthodox thinkers from the Parisian School, the Russian Student Christian Movement, and the journal The Way. The film was done by the YMCA between 1926 and 1934. Among the notable figures you will see are:

Fr. Sergius Bulgakov
Fr. George Florovsky and his wife
Saint Maria Skobtsova
Metropolitan Evlogi (Georgievsky) of Western Europe
Nikolai Zernov
Fr. Alexander Elchaninov
Boris Vysheslavtsev
Vladimir Iljine
Vassili Zenkovsky
Anton Kartachov

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
