Yuri Nikolaevich Roerich, a prominent Russian orientalist, linguist, philologist, art historian, ethnographer, and traveler, made a significant contribution to global Tibetology, Indology, and Mongolian studies.
Yuri Nikolaevich Roerich was born on August 16, 1902, in the village of Okulovka, Novgorod Governorate. He spent his childhood and adolescence in St. Petersburg. Already in high school, he began to develop a serious interest in the East.
In 1919, Yuri Roerich graduated from the Indo-Iranian department of the School of Oriental Languages at the University of London. Then, in 1922, from Harvard University in the United States, with a bachelor's degree in Indian philology. He completed his education in 1923 in Paris, at the School of Oriental Languages at the Sorbonne (the largest center of European Oriental studies), where he received a master's degree in Indian philology.
Yuri Nikolaevich Roerich possessed an astonishing gift: he understood almost all the world's languages and spoke dozens of them fluently.
From 1923 to 1928, he actively participated in the Trans-Himalayan Expedition organized by his father, Nicholas Konstantinovich Roerich. From 1928 until the beginning of World War II, Yuri Nikolaevich served as director of the Urusvati Himalayan Institute of Scientific Research, whose work was aimed at the comprehensive study of the East and the development of a science for the future.
In public life, he was actively involved in promoting the Roerich Pact (Cultural Pact) and fighting for its ratification. From 1949 to 1957, he taught at Kalimpong University (India).
In the fall of 1957, Yuri Nikolaevich Roerich returned to his homeland and headed the Department of the History of Philosophy and Religion of India at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the USSR Academy of Sciences in Moscow. He is credited with the invaluable return to the Motherland of the creative legacy of Nicholas Konstantinovich Roerich—the great Russian artist, thinker, and public figure—and with disseminating in the USSR the unique and vitally important Knowledge known as Agni Yoga or Living Ethics.
Yuri Nikolaevich ended his earthly journey in Moscow on May 21, 1960. The third peak of the Altai Mountains, in a spur of the Katunsky Range near the sacred Mount Belukha—between the peaks of N.K. Roerich and Urusvati—is named after him.
