Między Europą a Azją, między katolicyzmem a prawosławiem. Ks. dr Diodor Kołpiński (1892–1932)
Between Europe and Asia – Between Catholicism and Orthodox – Father Dr. Diodor Kołpiński (1892–1932)

Summary/Abstract: The research paper takes a closer look at the biography of Rev. Diodor Kolpinskiy, PhD (1892–1932). He was a truly outstanding individual: a Christian, priest, painter, poet, philosopher, writer, sculptor, patriot, political and religious emigrant – this is the simplest way to summarise nearly 40 years of his life. Today, the figure and achievements of Rev. Kolpinskiy are unknown. In his life, in which he was constantly on the move as a searching Christian, he sought answers to existential questions. Tsarist and Soviet Russia, Poland, Austria, Germany and China – these were just the main points on the world map where Rev. Kolpinskiy used to stay for a bit longer. It is important to present the life and work of such a talented person as Diodor Kolpinskiy, who spent one compact part of his life in Poland, leaving behind not only poems, scientific and artistic works, but also his students, to whom he passed on his knowledge and love of the East within the walls of the Missionary Institute and the Catholic University of Lublin.
