Biography
Stefan Liashevskii was born in Taganrog, Russia, on June 17, 1899, and educated at the Novecherkassk tekhnikum, graduating
in 1934. He worked as senior geologist for the Azov-Black Sea Trust in Rostov-on-Don until he was arrested in 1936 and imprisoned
in a Siberian concentration camp for three years. On his release, Liashevskii returned to working as geologist. In 1943, however,
he was ordained to the priesthood by the Russian Orthodox Church. As the Reverend Stefan Liashevskii, he immigrated to Germany
in 1944, where he served in various parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia, including the Saint Prokopius
church in Lübeck. Liashevskii arrived in the United States in 1957 and served briefly in the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate
before being assigned to a parish in Maine under the auspices of the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia. He was also a
biblical scholar, historian and writer, publishing several works on various topics, including biblical archeology and lives
of the saints.
Reverend Stefan Liashevskii died in 1986 in Augusta, Maine.
Scope and Content of Collection
These papers reflect the writings, papers and research interests of Stefan Liashevskii, a geologist in the USSR, archpriest

Aleksii (Simanskii), Metropolitan Iosif (Chernov) and Metropolitan Nikolai (Eremin).
The Speeches and Writings FILE includes several historical essays and articles dedicated to ecclesiastical figures known personally
by Liashevskii in Russia and in emigration, such as Patriarch Tikhon (Belavin), Metropolitan Serafim (Lade), Hieromonk Sofronii
(Sakharov) and others.
