    An Old Believer ―Holy Moscow‖ in Imperial Russia: Community and Identity in the History of the Rogozhskoe Cemetery Old Believers, 1771 - 1917 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Doctoral Degree of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Peter Thomas De Simone, B.A., M.A Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Nicholas Breyfogle, Advisor David Hoffmann Robin Judd Predrag Matejic Copyright by Peter T. 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.

  • White Eagle Spring/Summer 2007
    WHITEWHITE EAGLEEAGLE Journal OF THE POLISH NOBILITY ASSOCIATION Foundation Published semi-annually, provided to libraries in over 30 countries worldwide Spring/Summer 2007 Website: pnaf.us/ MILWAUKEE’S BAL MOSKOWY RECALLS POLAND’S GLORIOUS PAST AND A CELEBRATION OF ITS COLORFUL TRADITIONS The Polish Bal Moskowy, a formal costume dinner-ball and one of the highlights of Milwaukee’s social calendar took place February 3, 2007. As usual it was held at the elegant Wisconsin Club in downtown Milwaukee with monies raised going to support the Syrena Polish Dancers of Milwaukee. Attending the ball was Dr. Felix W. V.L. Holewinski, President of the Polish Nobility Association Foundation who has represented the Foundation at this event for several years. The highlight of the ball was the performance of the Syrena Dancers who danced the very popular Lancers Suit. Wearing the colorful uniforms of Napoleon’s Polish Lancers of the Imperial Guard, the dancers reenacted a typical formal ball held in Poland during the Napoleonic Wars. The dance medley consisted mostly of various mazurs (a dance popular with the Polish nobility) and ended with the sound of a bugle that signaled the Lancers to mount their horses and go to battle. As the Lancers march off with their sabers drawn, their elegantly gowned ladies bid them farewell. A sumptuous dinner was served before the dancing commenced and later during the ball the Grand Polonaise was danced, with everyone invited to join in, as pictured above. The colorful costumes and feathered masks were reminiscent of such balls which were popular with the Polish nobility during the 18th century and while a variety of period costumes were worn, a number of individuals wore period costumes of the Polish Nobility.

  • Ties Between Kievan Rus and the Byzantine Empire in the 9Th and 10Th Centuries Were Mainly of a Trade and Military Nature
    Ties between Kievan Rus and the Byzantine Empire in the 9th and 10th centuries were mainly of a trade and military nature. The situation had changed however, at the close of the 10th century. Not only had the Kievan Prince Vladimir Sviatoslavich adopted Christianity from Constantinople, he had also taken to wife, Anna Porphyrogenita, the Byzantine princess and sister of Basil II Bulgaroktonos. Vladimir’s marriage to a princess born to imperial purple signified a great honour for the Rurik dynasty, an honour not achieved even by the emperor Otto I who requested the hand in marriage of the Byzantine purpleborn or Porphyrogenitus for his son Otto II. Anna also brought her craftsmen and priests with her to Russia, they helped christianize the country. The craftsmen taught local builders to build large stone churches and decorate them with mosaics and frescoes. The introduction of christianity also saw the spread of the culture of the written word. Another Byzantine princess in Rus was the mother of Vladimir II Monomakh, of whom we have very little knowledge. There is a legend relating to relics connected to his nick-name which he took from his mother after the emperor Constantine IX. The so called legend of Monomakh relics became important in the period between the 15th and 16th centuries, when the great Moscow prince began using the title Tsar. The last two Byzantine princesses to join the Rus dynasty, did so in the 15th century. One was Marie, the daughter of Andreas Palaiolog, she married the Prince Vasily Mikailovich. The other was Zóé Palaiolog, the daughter of Thomy Palaiolog and niece to the last two Byzantine emperors Constantine XI.

    Introduction At the end of the eleventh century AD (November of 1095), at the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II issued a call for an armed pilgrimage to the Holy Land that became known as the First War of the Cross, or Crusade. This was at the request of the Byzantine emperor, Alexius Comnenus, in response to the increasing incursions of the Seljuq Turks into the formerly Byzantine territories in Asia Minor that had been gaining ground and momentum since the disastrous Byzantine defeat at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. What the embattled Byzantine emperor expected from the West was an elite force of armored knights that would ostensibly be commanded by an imperial general. Instead, the Christian force exported through Byzantine lands into the East took on a form quite different from that requested by Alexius. Instead of a coherent, unified, and professional military force, what first appeared at the gates of Constantinople in early 1095 was a massive, untrained, and belligerent rabble of peasants lead by a preacher called Peter the Hermit. Having already come into armed conflict with Byzantine soldiers while en route to the Holy Land, this “Peoples’ Crusade” proved to be both unsuccessful in addressing the Turkish problem, and highly dangerous (as a relatively leaderless mob of armed peasants) to the Byzantine capital—these “crusaders” immediately took to pillaging and raiding the hinterland of Constantinople during their wait outside the city walls. Alexius hastily mobilized the Byzantine navy and had these first crusaders ferried across the Bosporus, whereupon the majority were slaughtered by the Turks in a quick series of engagements in western Asia Minor.
