Life

Wassyl Senkiwskyj was born as the son of a teacher couple in Proskuriv, today's Ukrainian city of Khmelnyzkyj. His grandfather was an Orthodox priest and his father was a church elder, which is why Vasyl was raised religiously. His father taught at a school in Jampil , where Wassyl also received his primary education. After graduating from high school, he first studied four years at the physical and mathematical faculty of St. Vladimir University in Kiev from 1900 . In 1904 he moved to the historical and philological faculty of the same university that he graduated from in 1909. During his studies he already wrote numerous papers on psychology and philosophy, in particular the work " Plato in the Interpretation of Natorp " published in 1908 .

From the beginning of 1912 he taught psychology in Kiev schools. After an internship abroad in Germany in 1913/14, the end of which coincided with the beginning of the First World War , he taught courses in psychology and logic and after defending his doctoral thesis in 1915 he became an associate professor at the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Kiev. Together with Sergei Bulgakow he was the founder and from 1905 an active member of the Kiev Religious and Philosophical Society, of which he was chairman in 1916/17. In 1917/18 he was also a professor at the Kiev Ukrainian State University , after he had previously received permission to teach in Russian . He was also elected to the Bishops' Council at the Diocesan Congress in Kiev in 1917 and took part in the All-Russian Congress of Clergy and Laity in Moscow in June 1917 .

In 1918 he became Minister for Confessions and Churches in the Ukrainian state under Hetman Pavlo Skoropadskyj and as such campaigned for the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the use of the Ukrainian language in the Church, although he considered himself "Russian Ukrainian". After Skoropadskyj's fall, he first emigrated to Belgrade in Yugoslavia , where he teaches at the same time at the philosophical and theological faculties of the University of Belgrade . He left Yugoslavia in 1923 and moved to Prague in Czechoslovakia . After a short study visit to the United States, he moved to Paris in 1925. There he was actively involved in founding the Orthodox Theological Institute of St. Sergius, where he headed the Department of Philosophy from 1944 and was dean until the end of his life. He died at the age of 81 in Paris and was buried there in the Russian cemetery of Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois .
