Nikolai Dmitrievich Talberg was born in Korostyshev, Russia, on July 10, 1886. B His family, of Swedish origin, moved to Russia
from Finland during the reign of Catherine the Great. Both his father and grandfather were affiliated with Kiev University.
Talberg studied at the Imperatorskoe uchilishche pravovedeniia, graduating with a gold medal in 1907. For the next ten years
he served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In 1917, after the Russian Revolution, Talberg moved to the Caucasus but returned to Petersburg the same year and joined a
secret monarchist organization headed by N. E. Markov. In 1919, Talberg left Russia, arriving in Berlin in 1920, where he
continued to be affiliated and actively involved in Markov's monarchist organization, the Vysshii monarkhicheskii sovet.
With his move to Belgrade, Talberg also became more involved with the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia, eventually moving
to the United States, where he accepted a teaching position at Holy Trinity Seminary in Jordanville, New York. Talberg authored
several history textbooks, some still in use today at theological seminaries. He also published widely on Russian secular
and church history.
Nikolai Dmitrievich Talberg died on May 29, 1967, in Jordanville, New York.
Scope and Content of Collection
These papers reflect the writings and research interests of Nikolai Talberg, a government official in pre-Revolutionary Russia
and historian, writer, and professor in emigration. Among his writings are works related to late 19th and early 20th century
history, partially based on his own reminiscences and those of others. Major themes include the history of the Russian Orthodox
Church, politics and contemporary issues of the Russian diaspora.
The SUBJECT FILE includes materials on the history of the Russian Orthodox Church and especially on the various jurisdictional
conflicts that affected the Church in emigration. Particularly important are the documents dating from 1945 onwards relating
to such conflicts in the United States. Of special significance is the correspondence of Archbishop Vitalii Maksimenko with
representatives of different dioceses, parishes and organizations.
Detailed processing and preservation microfilming for these materials were made possible by a generous grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities and by matching funds from the Hoover Institution and Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary. The grant
also provides depositing a microfilm copy in the Hoover Institution Library & Archives. The original materials remain in the
