Biography
Andrei Vasil'evich Koshevoi was born in Valok, Russia, in the Poltava guberniia, on October 16, 1874. He grew up in a pious
Russian Orthodox family, went through the traditional theological education, graduating from the Romenskoe dukhovnoe uchilishche
in 1888 and the Poltavskaia dukhovnaia seminariia in 1894. Early on, Koshevoi chose his path, and in 1898 he was tonsured
a monk by his spiritual mentor Archbishop Antonii (Khrapovitskii), given the name Apollinarii, and subsequently ordained.
He then continued his education at the famous Kievskaia dukhovnaia akademiia, graduating in 1905.
In 1917, Apollinarii (Koshevoi) was consecrated bishop of Belgorod, having spent the preceding years teaching and carrying
out administrative functions at theological institutions. Archbishop Apollinarii arrived in Serbia in 1920, as a result of
the Russian Revolution, and was sent to Jerusalem in 1922 to oversee the activities of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission.
Two years later, he arrived in New York, having been assigned as vicar bishop to Metropolitan Platon (Rozhdestvenskii). Although
his time in the United States coincided with difficult jurisdictional controversies, he played an important role in the formation
of Russian Orthodox parishes there. From 1929 to 1933, he was archbishop of North America and Canada; he died in New York
in 1933.
Scope and Content of Collection
These papers reflect the ecclesiastical career path of Archbishop Apollinarii (Koshevoi), beginning with his educational formation
in pre-Revolutionary Russia to emigration, first in Serbia, then Jerusalem, Palestine, and, finally, as Archbishop of North
America and Canada. His assignments, both in Jerusalem and North America, coincided with difficult jurisdictional controversies,
especially on the North American continent. His Correspondence reveals a lively exchange with both clergy and parishioners
in the U.S. and Canada, and includes directives, ukazy, and ecclesiastical documents forwarded to him from the ecclesiastical
administration of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia in Belgrade, Serbia.
