Many Worlds: A Russian Life

In her autobiography Sophie Koulomzin, long honored as a pioneer in Orthodox religious education in America, tells of the many worlds in which she has lived and worked: childhood on family estates in Old Russia; the hardships of revolutionary Moscow; life in the Russian emigration in Western Europe and as a foreign student in America; the challenge of combining marriage and a family with service in the Church; making a new life in America after world War II; returning to Russia, this time as a tourist. She shares with us the experiences -- and the wisdom -- of a lifetime. In doing so, she gives us in microcosm the history of a fascinating generation.
