He is also a philologist, a Research Associate at the Russian Academy of Science, an active participant in and organizer of scholarly conferences, and a journalist. Father Fyodor was born and raised in downtown Moscow, but in the &#8217;90s moved with his family to a new neighborhood beyond the Beltway.<\/p>\n<p>Father Fyodor moved to this separate room of his crowded apartment relatively recently, and is extremely pleased with it. His modern belongings, a laptop for example, do indeed crowd the interior and encroach upon the older furniture. But on the whole, last century&#8217;s furniture remains: a bookshelf, manuscripts, and archived material for scientific research. A separate office serves as an excellent asylum from the noise of the younger generation. It is in this room that Father Fyodor works and sleeps.<\/p>\n<p>You can listen to an interview with Father Fyodor here. <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russianrooms\/files\/2012\/10\/interFjodor_best.mp3\">interFjodor_best<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\">Translated by Alex North<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russianrooms\/files\/2012\/10\/persandroom_0131.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"persandroom_013\" alt=\"a Scholar's room\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russianrooms\/files\/2012\/10\/persandroom_0131-1024x680.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russianrooms\/files\/2012\/10\/persandroom_014.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"persandroom_014\" alt=\"Father Fyodor\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russianrooms\/files\/2012\/10\/persandroom_014-1024x680.jpg\" width=\"584\" height=\"387\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Father Fyodor is a priest at a congregational church in a near suburb of Moscow.
