Kondakov Seminar

The Kondakov Seminar was an academic organisation founded by Russian exiles on 22 April 1925 in Prague, named after Nikodim Kondakov shortly following his death.[1]

The first directors were Alexander Kalitinsky and George Vernadsky – until he left for Yale University in 1927.[2] They received funding from Charles Crane for the initial book celebrating the work of Kondakov.[2]
