International Group of Theosophists

The International Group of Theosophists was a small group of Theosophists active during the mid-twentieth century. They tried to remain aloof from the very intense quarrels that divided the movement in the 1890s. Heading the group was Boris Mihailovich de Zirkoff (1902-1981), the grandnephew of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, one of the founders of the original Theosophical Society. De Zirkoff spent much of his life editing and publishing Blavatsky's collected works. The group dissolved soon after de Zirkoff's death.
