===Early career===
Vvedensky graduated from the History department of St. Petersburg University in 1913. While a student at St. Petersburg, he played the piano and frequented the salon of [[w:Dmitry Merezhkovsky|Dmitri Merezhkovsky]] and [[w:Zinaida Gippius|Zinaida Gippius]], important figures in the symbolist movement. With their encouragement, he wrote an article entitled "Reasons for Non-belief among the Russian Intelligentsia,” published in the journal ''Palomnik'', finding that the two main reasons for non-belief were
#)the disparity between Christian [[dogma]] and scientific knowledge and#)the reactionary nature of the Orthodox [[clergy]].
His desire to bridge the gap between religion and science and be an apologist and reformer of the church is seen throughout his subsequent career.<ref> Roslof, pp. 9-10</ref>
