metadata.value: Early 20th century Russian academic theology showed considerable interest in St.
  Augustine’s theology. Among a significant number of works on the latter, one that
  stands out in terms of its scale and being well-founded, the doctoral thesis “The
  personality and legacy of St. Augustine” (1916) by I. V. Popov, a professor of the
  Moscow theological academy. Although the first volume of the Popov’s work is
  the only one that remains, it is of substantial interest because it witnesses the
  continuous intellectual evolution of its author, who made a sharp turn from the
  Eastern patristics towards the Western patristics in his studying the topic of “deification”.
  However, today there is no unanimous agreement among scholars on
  the presence of “deification” concepts in the Western theology, and Popov himself
  does not use the term “deification” in his doctoral thesis. Nevertheless, Popov’s
  conclusion that “ontologism”, being understood as the possibility of a direct communication
  with God in this life, was characteristic of St. Augustine represents in
  some sense the next stage of Popov’s search for an organic integration of the moral
  and mystical contents of Christian life. Containing an implicit but relevant for the
  early twentieth century critique of Harnack’s rationalism, Popov’s work had as
  well an impact on the mid-twentieth century Russian thought, having been in demand
  in the diaspora. It should be especially noted that, despite its unconditional
  significance both for the history of Russian patristics and of Russian theology in
  the twentieth century Popov’s “Augustine” has not attracted special attention of
  researchers so far.
