Modest Modestowitsch von Korff

Count Modest Modestowitsch von Korff, who once served as master of ceremonies and court marshal at the royal court, was a child of a spiritual awakening that began in 1874 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Having believed in the living God through the English Lord Redstock, he, along with other members of the highest Russian aristocracy, became a zealous evangelist.
