Drawing on historiographical research and primary sources, this article seeks to reconstruct a prosopographic portrait of Feodosiy Georgiyovych Spaskyy, with the aim of presenting him as an outstanding cultural, scholarly, and religious figure of the 20th century – a Ukrainian theologian and liturgist. Although Feodosiy Spaskyy is generally recognized today as a scholar of the post-revolutionary White émigré movement, it is important to emphasize his Ukrainian origin. The Ukrainian period of the theologian’s life – his childhood years in Nizhyn, his education, and his love of music, singing, and church service – shaped his distinctive religious worldview, characterized by a strong inclination toward liturgical and theological scholarship.   To date, research on Feodosiy Spaskyy, Associate Professor at the St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute in Paris, remains extremely limited. There is a notable lack of research on his life and works, particularly studies that objectively and comprehensively examine his creative legacy, especially his liturgical writings. Indeed, the name of Feodosiy Spaskyy is known primarily for his monograph Russian Liturgical Creativity, which remains, to this day, the most extensive and unique systematic compilation of bibliographic listings and analyses of domestic Minaean services. The scarcity of research into the work of one of Ukraine’s prominent 20th-century scholars in the field of liturgical studies – a figure who left behind a considerable body of liturgical writings – underscores the need and relevance of popularizing and objectively examining the life and legacy of this theologian.
