University Microfilms International 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 USA St INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will afind good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below die first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

PREFACE I have employed the Library of Congress system of transliteration except for the omission of soft signs. The names of rulers and localities well known in English have been anglicized. The spelling of "Doukhobor" conforms to standard English usage. The New Style or Gregorian calendar was not adopted in Russia until 1918. In the nineteenth century the Old Style or Julian calendar used in Russia was twelve days behind the New Style; in the eighteenth century there was an eleven day difference. In all cases I have rendered dates in both Styles for the sake of clarity. A number of institutions warrant mention for their aid and support in the preparation of this dissertation. I wish to thank the Special Collections staff of the University of British Columbia Library for its guidance and assistance during the initial stages of research for this study. Similarly, the Slavic specialists of the Library of Congress' Law Library were especially helpful. Finally, the Russian and East European Center of the University of Illinois (Urb ana-Champ a i gn) deserves particular mention and my gratitude for deeming the present study worthy of support through its Summer Research Laboratory.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE This dissertation endeavors to trace the critical first fifty years of the Doukhobor settlement established by Alexander I in l802. With his decision to grant the Doukhobors* wish to be settled in "a separate colony," Alexander gave immediate and definite shape to what was theretofore an amorphous history of individuals scattered in many parts of the Russian Empire and united solely by a common religion. Only from l802 were the Doukhobors con­ fronted with the task of constructing among themselves the economic, political, and spiritual relationships that would determine the subsequent growth or decay of the sect as a real community of the faithful. Only from l802 did the Doukhobors collectively confront a government that could either tolerate or destroy them. During the reigns of Alexander I and Nicholas I, the basic shape and place of the Doukhobor community in Imperial Russian society were deter­ mined by a complex interaction of state and sectarian attitudes and policies. Between 18OI and 1855 the autocracy created a legal milieu in which the Doukhobors could exist as religious dis­ senters. The creation of a legal order tolerant of "errors of faith" proceeded from a rational ordering of state affairs that consciously removed the peaceful confession of 1 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Alexander’s pursuit of such a policy derived primarily from an early adoption of Enlightenment precepts that evolved into a highly ecumenical spiritualism. Nicholas’ policy toward dissenting religion was largely a function of his devotion to a bureaucratization that implied a depersonalized standardization in state policies that was often blind to matters of faith. Under Alexander and Nicholas the Doukhobors came to be regarded as subjects of the Tsar rather than "heretics." The legal order which the autocracy constructed for the Doukhobors was characterized by carefully prescribed limitations on sectarian activity. Although the state countenanced the existence of dissenting faith, it was not agreeable to the unbridled growth of a force subversive of the Orthodox Christian civilization on which the autocracy was based. The Doukhobors were thus subjected to a legal regimen of checks and balances the aim of which was to con­ trol rather than suppress the sect. The

  • Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796
    Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796 By Thomas Lucius Lowish A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor Kinch Hoekstra Spring 2021 Abstract Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796 by Thomas Lucius Lowish Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor, Chair Historians of Russian monarchy have avoided the concept of sovereignty, choosing instead to describe how monarchs sought power, authority, or legitimacy. This dissertation, which centers on Catherine the Great, the empress of Russia between 1762 and 1796, takes on the concept of sovereignty as the exercise of supreme and untrammeled power, considered legitimate, and shows why sovereignty was itself the major desideratum. Sovereignty expressed parity with Western rulers, but it would allow Russian monarchs to bring order to their vast domain and to meaningfully govern the lives of their multitudinous subjects. This dissertation argues that Catherine the Great was a crucial figure in this process. Perceiving the confusion and disorder in how her predecessors exercised power, she recognized that sovereignty required both strong and consistent procedures as well as substantial collaboration with the broadest possible number of stakeholders. This was a modern conception of sovereignty, designed to regulate the swelling mechanisms of the Russian state. Catherine established her system through careful management of both her own activities and the institutions and servitors that she saw as integral to the system.

    RECENT PUBLICATIONS John Wilhelm Rowntree 1868-1905 and the beginnings of modern Quakerism. By Stephen Allott. Sessions Book Trust, York, 1994. Pp. xiv + 138. £7.00. Stephen Allott's concise and appealing account of John Wilhelm Rowntree makes very considerable use of quotations. It is well-illustrated. Rowntree was one of the most influential Friends of his day and made a great contribution to the Society despite his involvement in business, his chronic ill-health and his sadly early death at the age of 36. Allott provides a valuable addition to the studies of British Quakerism in the crucial period around the beginning of this century. It is timely background to the consideration of the impact of the Manchester conference of 1895. Rowntree will now be known to Friends not so much as a pioneer in writing Quaker history as for being part of it. He had hoped to make a major new historical study and gathered a collection of Quaker literature in preparation for this, later to pass to the Woodbrooke Library. His lectures on the rise of Quakerism in Yorkshire in his Essays and Addresses form his main published historical contribution. They went beyond narrative to exhortation and explained his vision for the Society of Friends. History for him was not a matter of satisfying academic curiosity but of tracing the evolution of contemporary Quakerism and explaining the relevance of the past to the questions of the day. The Rowntree series of Quaker histories built on his vision, effectively as his memorial. His deep friendship with Rufus Jones led to Jones's major contribution to the series alongside W.C.

De Simone 2012 Abstract In the mid-seventeenth century Nikon, Patriarch of Moscow, introduced a number of reforms to bring the Russian Orthodox Church into ritualistic and liturgical conformity with the Greek Orthodox Church. However, Nikon‘s reforms met staunch resistance from a number of clergy, led by figures such as the archpriest Avvakum and Bishop Pavel of Kolomna, as well as large portions of the general Russian population. Nikon‘s critics rejected the reforms on two key principles: that conformity with the Greek Church corrupted Russian Orthodoxy‘s spiritual purity and negated Russia‘s historical and Christian destiny as the Third Rome – the final capital of all Christendom before the End Times. Developed in the early sixteenth century, what became the Third Rome Doctrine proclaimed that Muscovite Russia inherited the political and spiritual legacy of the Roman Empire as passed from Constantinople. In the mind of Nikon‘s critics, the Doctrine proclaimed that Constantinople fell in 1453 due to God‘s displeasure with the Greeks. Therefore, to Nikon‘s critics introducing Greek rituals and liturgical reform was to invite the same heresies that led to the Greeks‘ downfall.
