It is too early yet to trace the fortunes of the Russian sects during this latest period, for the contradictory news of the struggle is not to be trusted; and few, if any, know what is really happening or has happened in unhappy Russia. Since, however, the future is largely moulded by the past, I trust that my work may be of some use to those who sincerely desire to understand and trace out the springs of the Revolu- tion. It is not a work of original research. I have only read a number of Russian authorities and freely exploited them. I have especially used the Historj' of the Russian Ra^kol by Ivanovski (two volumes, Kazan, 1895 and 1897). He was professor of the subject in the Kazan Seminary between 1880 and 1895. He tries to be fair, and in the main succeeds in being so. Subbotin, indeed, in a letter to Pobedonostzev, Procurator of the Holy SjTiod, who had consisted him about the best manuals on the subject, wrote shghtingly of the work; but I think unfairiy, for the only concrete faults he finds with it are, first, that the author allowed himself to use the phrase; 'the historical Christ,' which had to his ears a rationalist ring; and secondly, that he devoted too Uttle space to the Moscow Synods of 1654 to 1667.

  • Russian Orthodox Church and Democratic Transition in Russia Peter M.Ivanov Introduction. This Research Project Primarily Concent
    1 Russian Orthodox Church and Democratic Transition in Russia Peter M.Ivanov Introduction. This research project primarily concentrates on the developments in the relations between the Russian Orthodox Church (hereafter - ROC), on the one hand, and the state and society in Russia, on the other, during the last several years. The period under review, if strictly defined, embraces the years 1991 - 1999, i.e. from the time of obvious collapse of the Communist state in the USSR until the nowadays. The main goal of the author was to show, how the Church reacts to different political, social, economic, cultural changes in Russia, in what way it participates in complicated developmental processes. The revival of the ROC itself, which has been severely suppressed during the period of the Communist rule, is an important background of the research undertaken. The period of democratic reforms in Russia (whatever their evaluation might have been) coincided with the times of dynamic revival of the ROC. Disappointing results of the economic reforms, atmosphere of social crisis, political instability and absence of normally functioning parliament and political parties enjoying popular support, - all these factors 2 provide for strong social interest in the role of the ROC in the current development of Russia. It is simultaneously a symbol of hope for ones, and the target of bitter criticism and even hate for the others. The supporters state, that the ROC is the main or only reliable force of national salvation. The opponents see it as a conservative force, separated from the major part of society and doomed to become an ethnographic reservation in the near future.

    Notes Introduction I. See Philip Walters, 'A Survey of Soviet Religious Policy', pp. 3-30 and Sabrina Petra Ramet, 'Religious Policy in the Era of Gorbachev', pp. 31- 52, both in Sabrina Petra Ramet (ed.), Religious Policy in the Soviet Union (Cambridge University Press, 1993). 1 The First Signs of Religious Freedom 1. The present author wrote in April 1986: 'any speculation that there will be liberalisation in the area of religion (or any other) would be premature at the time of writing. Changes may perhaps be in the offing in the economic field, but in political areas, including the political control of religion, there is as yet no sign of any change of policy.'

His first reference to religion, in November 1986, was made during a stop- over to Tashkent en route to India and was not reported in the central Soviet press. It was generally taken to be a reference to Islam and to concern nationalism rather than religion. 3. 'A Declaration of Need and a Call to Prayer', Frontier, January-February 1987, p. 16. 4.

All Rights Reserved 1 The pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ Himself, hidden under the veil of the flesh. The future Pope Pius X (1895).

Charles Baudelaire (1866). European politics in the nineteenth century fed on the French Revolution.

The Messianism of the new era must arise and develop; the Jerusalem of the New World Order, which is established in holiness between the East and Asia, must occupy the place of two forces: the kings and the popes...

  • “Make This the Place Where Your Glory Dwells”: Origins
    “MAKE THIS THE PLACE WHERE YOUR GLORY DWELLS”: ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION OF THE BYZANTINE RITE FOR THE CONSECRATION OF A CHURCH A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Vitalijs Permjakovs ____________________________ Maxwell E. Johnson, Director Graduate Program in Theology Notre Dame, Indiana April 2012 © Copyright 2012 Vitalijs Permjakovs All rights reserved “MAKE THIS THE PLACE WHERE YOUR GLORY DWELLS”: ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION OF THE BYZANTINE RITE FOR THE CONSECRATION OF A CHURCH Abstract by Vitalijs Permjakovs The Byzantine ritual for dedication of churches, as it appears in its earliest complete text, the eighth-century euchologion Barberini gr. 336, as well as in the textus receptus of the rite, represents a unique collection of scriptural and euchological texts, together with the ritual actions, intended to set aside the physical space of a public building for liturgical use. The Byzantine rite, in its shape already largely present in Barberini gr. 336, actually comprises three major liturgical elements: 1) consecration of the altar; 2) consecration of the church building; 3) deposition of relics. Our earliest Byzantine liturgical text clearly conceives of the consecration of the altar and the deposition of the relics/“renovation” (encaenia) as two distinct rites, not merely elements of a single ritual. This feature of the Barberini text raises an important question, namely, which of these major elements did in fact constitute the act of dedicating/ consecrating the church, and what role did the deposition of relics have in the ceremonies of dedication in the early period of Byzantine liturgical history, considering that the deposition of relics Vitalijs Permjakovs became a mandatory element of the dedication rite only after the provisions to that effect were made at the Second council of Nicaea in 787 CE.

The purpose of the article is to establish, on the basis of historiographical analysis of works, primarily historical, devoted to charity in the Cossacks era, in particular, fi gures of Hetman B.

B. Khmelnytskyi issued a large number of stationers to the Kiev monasteries, since it was in Kiev that there were the most ancient and most respected monasteries. They were mainly concerned with the transfer of land, settlements, property, etc. In total, according to our calculations, B. Khmelnitsky published 38 versatile people of similar content. Modern Ukrainian historians are unanimous in that the fundamental foundations of charity were laid by B. Khmelnytsky since the fi rst months of the liberation struggle. During the next time, they experienced some changes, but the main thing was that charity was viable and had a long-term character.

  • The Notion of People in Medieval and Early-Modern Russia
    ROZPRAWY . WYKŁADNIE . INTERPRETACJE SENSUS HISTORIAE ISSN 2082–0860 Vol. III (2011/2) s. 9-34 Konstantin Erusalimsky Moscow Th e Notion of People in Medieval and Early-Modern Russia t is diffi cult to fi nd in Medieval Russia a social discourse as a set of énoncés Ion rules and principles of communal life and on their implementation. Historians of social thought negate capacity of Muscovites to produce social theory until the late XVII century. Shouldn’t we change our optics and look for it in other place? European authors of XVI and XVII centuries were pioneers in juridical study of societies, but their theories do not seem now compatible with what was called “social theory” in the Enlightenment or what we may call social theory now.1 In that sense the late XVII century, and the large part of the next century haven’t yielded essential changes in Russia, despite rapid and numerous reforms: “Russia’s civil society of educated” (obshchestvo) arose only in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century and at the time did not describe a universalist society encompassing all citizens. Th us although educated Russians invoked concepts such as “the public” (publica), “society” (obshchestvo), and “the people” (narod) that transcended social particularlism, historians must be wary of applying the nineteenth-century meanings of these categories to eighteenth-century social relationships. Similarly, they must be wary of applying the categories of sociology and political theory — for example, Habermas’s “bourgeois public sphere” — to historical contexts in which comparable categories had not yet been articulated. Th e historian who seeks to recover the voices of the people would do well to employ the language, categories, and concepts articulated by those very people.

  • Mikhail Zhilin EARLY MESOLITHIC BONE ARROWHEADS from the VOLGA-OKA INTERFLUVE, CENTRAL RUSSIA
    Fennoscandia archaeologica XXXII (2015) Mikhail Zhilin EARLY MESOLITHIC BONE ARROWHEADS FROM THE VOLGA-OKA INTERFLUVE, CENTRAL RUSSIA Abstract Several different types of bone arrowheads were produced and used during the Early Mesolithic in the Volga-Oka interfluve. In this paper, recent research on these artefacts is reviewed, and their means of manufacture and ways of use determined through microscopy and experimental research. The research highlights the skill of the Early Mesolithic inhabitants of the Volga-Oka interfluve in manufacturing bone arrowheads, used for hunting various animals. A similarity was observed between the flint industry of pre-boreal sites of the Volga-Oka region and those of southern Finland, especially with respect to tanged flint arrowheads. The similarity suggests that the Early Mesolithic population of southern Finland and Karelian Isthmus most probably produced and used bone arrowheads similar to those described in the article. However, because bone artefacts are generally missing in the latter regions because of acrid soils, the conclusion should be regarded as a working hypothesis.
