Panentteistic version of the philosophy of the All -Establishment of Semyon Frank took the form of a developed philosophical system, free from ideological obligations and clearly showing pan -European sources of its basic concepts. Nevertheless, this was not a product of peaceful contemplation, but the result of intellectual evolution, reflecting the dramatic story of Frank"s life against the backdrop of Russian tragedy. The book of the sister of Teresa Obolevich, based on her thorough search in the rich Bakhmetyevsky archive at the Columbia University, is an important contribution to the understanding of this aspect of the work of Frank. The book shows many previously unknown faces of Frank"s life in exile, paying special attention to the attitude of his thoughts to the problems of the Russian Orthodox Church in the 1920s. "
