Georgii Titovich Kiiashchenko, 1872 - 1940

General G. T. Kiiashchenko was born in the town of Starodub in 1872. He was educated at the Chuguev Military School, and his military career culminated with the rank of major general and the title of director of military transport in the Far East in 1919. He was a participant in the Russian army's 1915 Lodz operation, about which he left notes for a lecture. In San Francisco in the 1920s and 1930s, Kiiashchenko became an active participant in Russian Orthodox Church politics and the émigré monarchist movement.

Most of his views on these subjects were expressed in the pages of Nashe slovo and Viera i pravda, and a number of other pamphlets, periodicals and leaflets, which he edited and published. He supported the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia as well as the Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich's claim to the Russian throne. Kiiashchenko died in San Francisco on 19 January 1940.

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 Museum of Russian Culture. The grant also provides for depositing a microfilm copy in the Hoover Institution Archives. The original materials and copyright to them (with some exceptions) are the property of the Museum of Russian Culture, San Francisco.
