Russian-language newspaper Novaya Zarya and assisted the YMCA in providing help to the Russian hostages in German camps. Thus, the Mladorossi was proclaimed officially dismissed by 1942. Between 1944 and 1957, Kazembek taught the Russian language and literature at Yale University and Connecticut College. He was also deeply involved in religious work and co-operated with various Russian Orthodox organizations in North America. In 1954, while he was visiting New Delhi, Kazembek applied for permission to return to the Soviet Union permanently. In 1957, his reputation suffered a blow when Pravda published a pro-Soviet article and claimed Kazembek as its author. He demanded immediate rehabilitation from the newspaper and threatened to commit suicide if his demands were not met. In 1957, his request of the Soviet citizenship was sustained. He returned to the Soviet Union and worked at the Moscow Patriarchate's Department of Exterior Affairs until his death in 1977. He was buried in the village of Lukino, a Moscow suburb, near the local Church of the Transfiguration. References Sources Massip, Mireille.
