Biographical / historical:

General Georgiĭ Titovich Kii͡ashchenko was born in the town of Starodub in 1872. He was educated at the Chuguev Military School, and his military career culminated with the rank of major general and the title of director of military transport in the Far East in 1919. He was a participant in the Russian army's 1915 Lodz operation, about which he left notes for a lecture. In San Francisco in the 1920s and 1930s, Kii͡ashchenko became an active participant in Russian Orthodox Church politics and the émigré monarchist movement.

Most of his views on these subjects were expressed in the pages of Nashe slovo and Viera i pravda, and a number of other pamphlets, periodicals and leaflets, which he edited and published. He supported the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, as well as the Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich's claim to the Russian throne. Kii͡ashchenko died in San Francisco on 19 January 1940.
