Biographical / Historical
Serge A. Zenkovskii (1907-1990), was born in Kiev to a prominent Russian noble family on June 16, 1907. After the revolution, his family fled from Russia to Constantinople. They eventually settled in Prague where Serge's father continued working as a representative of the Russian Zemstva. In 1927, Serge A. Zenkovskii moved to Paris and learned his degree in East European and Modern History from the University of Paris.
In 1939, Serge decided to move to the United States and obtained an American visa. Soon after he went to Prague to say goodbye to his parents but had to stay in Prague because of the Hitler's occupation. During the turbulent years of World War II, Serge lived in Prague where he learned his doctoral degree in Early Russian history. In 1949, he and his parents finally managed to leave for the United States. By the middle of 1950s, Serge extensively published and taught in several American Universities - Indiana, Stetson, Colorado, and Vanderbilt. In the early 1960s, he completely devoted himself to a study of Medieval Russia and prepared among other things the five-hundred-page book on Russian Old Believers (Munich: Wilhelm Fink, 1970).
In 1977, he retired from teaching and for the next decade worked on a new edition of The Nikonian Chronicle. At the time of his death (1990), his publications numbered over two hundred.
