Scope and Contents

The Vladimir Feofilovich Zeeler (1874-1954) papers consist of correspondence, manuscripts, documents, photographs, and memorabilia.

A sizable part of the collection concerns the painter Il'ia Repin (1844-1930), including letters to Zeeler from Repin and his children; photographs of Repin; and his artist's brushes and paints.

Among Zeeler's correspondents are Konstantin Bal'mont, Aleksandr Benois, Ivan Bunin, Vladislav Khodasevich, Aleksandr Kuprin, Pavel Miliukov, Sergei Rakhmaninov, Nikolai Roerich, and Ivan Shmelev.

History / Biographical Note

Biographical note

Vladimir Feofilovich Zeeler (Владимир Феофилович Зеелер; 1874-1954) was a Russian lawyer, state official and political activist; the Interior Minister in the South Russian Government; a pivotal figure of the Russian emigration; and a journalist, editor, memoirist and philanthropist. After the defeat of the White Army, Zeeler left Russia and settled in Paris. He was one of the founders and a Secretary of the Union of Russian Writers and Journalists in Paris (Soiuz russkikh pisatelei i zhurnalistov v Parizhe), and a treasurer of the Union of Russian Lawyers in France (Ob'edinenie russkikh advokatov vo Frantsii).

Zeeler was born in Kiev on June 6, 1874. He graduated from the University of Kharkov and then worked as a lawyer in Rostov-on-Don. He was also an avid art collector; after his emigration his art collection was nationalized and became a part of the Don Regional Art Museum.

A member of the Constitutional Democratic Party, commonly known as the Kadet Party, Zeeler became politically active after the February Revolution of 1917. He was elected mayor of Rostov-on-Don in 1917. He condemned the Bolshevik revolution and on October 28, 1917, on behalf of the Rostov Duma, refused allegiance to those to whom he referred as "bandits." He actively supported the White Army.

Zeeler became a prominent member of the Russian émigré community in France. He was a founding member of the Union of Russian Writers and Journalists in Paris (Soiuz russkikh pisatelei i zhurnalistov), and served as its secretary for the next thirty years. He was also treasurer of the Union of Russian Lawyers in France (Ob'edinenie russkikh advokatov vo Frantsii), and secretary of the Days of Russian Culture (Dni russkoi kul'tury) central committee from 1927 onward. Zeeler was one of four editors of Pamiati pogibshikh (1929), a book commemorating the Kadet Party members who died between 1917 and 1921. He also was a member of the editorial board of the Russkaia mysl'.

Vladimir Zeeler died in Paris on December 27, 1954.
