I was a distant learning student at St. Sergius Theological Institute in Paris and was involved in organising events to gather Orthodox people in Western Europe from all origins as well as catechism, liturgical and pastoral issues. Being of Russian origin, I am an author of the biography of the theologian Elisabeth Behr-Sigel (Olga Lossky, Towards the endless day, a life of Elisabeth Behr-Sigel, Notre-Dame University Press, 2010) as well as several theological articles. I am co-editor of Contact, a French orthodox review of theology and spirituality.
