Nikolai Berdiaev 1874 â 1948 was one of Russia's best known religious philosophers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and a leading theoretician for the Russian Social Democratic Party. An article of his in 1913 criticising the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church earned him a charge of blasphemy the punishment for which was exile to Siberia for life. The Revolution prevented the sentence from taking effect and he was allowed to continue writing and lecturing. Though consequently his dissatisfaction with the Bolsheviks' regime got him arrested several times and eventually resulted in his expulsion from Russia in 1922 on the so called "Philosophers' Ship" - a selected group of 160 prominent writers and intellectuals whose ideas the Bolshevik government found objectionable. In exile first in Berlin and later in Paris Berdiaev was editor in chief of the YMCA-Press founder of the above-mentioned Russian Religious Philosophical Academy and editor of the periodical Putâ âThe Wayâ - to which the current pamphlet was published as a supplement. Georgii Fedotov Vladimir Il'in and Sergei Bulgakov were also prominent exiled theologians and philosophers who worked closely with Berdiaev in Paris. Paris: YMCA Press paperback books

'The White Book' - part biography and part archive of documents letters and articles - was published by supporters of Archbishop Afanasii of Buenos Aires as a response to allegations against him by parishioners and immigrants in Argentina and Australia. Archbishop Afanasii Anton Martos was born near Nesvizh Belarus in 1904. After holding various positions in his country in 1946 he moved to Hamburg where he worked with his compatriots at the Fishbeck DP Camp. In 1950 Afanasii was appointed Bishop in Sidney Australia and in 1956 with the death of Archbishop Ioasaf in Argentina Afanasii took his spot and sailed to Buenos Aires. On the one hand he was known to work with the Russian emigre youth publish a religious journal and manage to secure funds for buying land and ultimately building an Orthodox cathedral for his parishioners in Buenos Aires; on the other hand in a series of letters and articles he was accused of "defiantly refusing to condemn Communism" never speaking of Russia and of altogether professing anti-Russian sentiments. The publication of the book was the ultimate refutation to the "slanderous and false efforts of wicked men."
