Sergei O. Prokofieff

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the anthroposophist. For the composer, see Sergei Prokofiev.

Sergei O. Prokofieff was born in Moscow in 1954, where he studied fine arts and painting at the Moscow School of Art. He encountered anthroposophy in his youth, and soon made the decision to devote his life to it. He wrote his first book, Rudolf Steiner and the Founding of the New Mysteries while living in Soviet Russia; the book was published in Germany in 1982. After the fall of communism, he became a co-founder of the Anthroposophical Society in Russia, and since Easter 2001 he has been a member of the Executive Council of the General Anthroposophical Society in Dornach, Switzerland. Prokofieff is a prolific author, and an outspoken critic of Valentin Tomberg and his followers.

Prokofieff’s written work consists primarily in the development of various Christological themes on the foundation of Rudolf Steiner's research.
