<p>This study, based on both unpublished and published archival documents, periodicals, and other sources, compiles information about the interaction between Russian philosopher and historian Lev Karsavin and the Russian community in Kaunas. Between 1928 and 1940, while living in Kaunas and working at the University of Lithuania, which was renamed Vytautas Magnus University in 1930, Karsavin clearly interacted not only with his Russian colleagues at the university. His circle of friends included ballet critic Vera Sotnikova, art historian Nikolai Vorobyov, teachers at the Russian gymnasium, among others. The scholar repeatedly gave public lectures to Russian-speaking audiences. He participated in meetings of the Russian Christian Youth Circle and was a trustee of the Russian Student Corporation. This study allows us to draw several conclusions. First, during his first year in Lithuania, Karsavin sought to find listeners outside of university lecture halls. As he became more integrated into the Lithuanian academic environment, the need to communicate with Russian-speaking audiences diminished, with the exception of his circle of acquaintances, who shared similar educational backgrounds and interests. Second, some of his public appearances appear to have been part of his commitment to popularizing Eurasianism, which was also of interest to the local public.</p>
