Abstract
After the 1917 Revolution Russian emigrants reacted to the new situation in diaspora in a different way. In this paper I concentrate on two of these exiles - Mother Maria Skobtsova (1891-1945) and Sergei Bulgakov (1871-1944) - whose lives were closely bound by Paris where they both settled and by their friendship - Sergei Bulgakov was Mother Maria's confessor and spiritual father.
I will show their different reactions to the uprootedness of life in diaspora, which already originated from their homeland context.
