В данной статье рассматривается порядок поощрения священнослужителей Русской Православной Церкви иерархическими наградами в XIX - начале XX в. Цель исследования - проанализировать процесс установления и механизм развития наградной системы в обозначенный период. Для этого изучаются характеристики каждой из наград, официально установленных императором Павлом I и его последователями. Внимание читателя статьи обращается главным образом на обстоятельства появления отдельной богослужебной награды в практике Русской Православной Церкви и условия награждения ею заслуженных клириков. В качестве наглядного примера рассматриваются выразительные случаи награждения некоторых священнослужителей. Изучение устройства начальной системы богослужебных наград клириков Русской Православной Церкви позволило прийти к выводу, что появившаяся в конце XVIII в. наградная система на протяжении последующего столетия претерпевала различные изменения: дополнялась и структурировалась. За это время в наградной практике появлялись новые и упразднялись старые награды, был выработан междунаградной срок и установлен порядок награждения священников во время богослужения. This publication examines the procedure for encouraging the clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church with hierarchical awards in the XIX-early XX centuries. Тhe purpose of the study is to analyze the process of establishing and developing the award system in this period. We study the characteristics of each of the awards officially established by Emperor Paul I and his followers. The reader’s attention is mainly drawn to the circumstances of the appearance a separate liturgical award in the practice of the Russian Orthodox Church and the conditions for awarding it to distinguished clerics. As a clear example, we consider the expressive cases of awarding certain clergy. The study of the initial system of liturgical awards for clerics of the Russian Orthodox Church allowed us to conclude that the award system that appeared at the end of the XVIII century underwent various changes over the next century: it was supplemented and structured. During this time, new awards appeared in the award practice and old awards were abolished, an international award period was developed and the procedure for awarding priests during divine services was established.

Introduction. The role of Orthodox confessional heritage and the analysis of social traditions of the Balkan and Russian peoples are considered in the generalizing characteristic of the spiritual creations of the thinkers of Rus and Russia. The multidirectional tendencies of anti-clerical forces on the one hand, and of the Church community on the other, indicate that the topic of secularization of Russian society has not received an actual resolution. The purpose of the article is to examine the understanding of the processes of caesaropapism and secularism in Russian society, as well as the historiosophical and methodological consequences of this understanding. Materials and Methods. An integrative approach combined with historical-methodological and philosophical-historical analysis is considered as a theoretical and methodological research strategy. The solution of research problems was provided by a complex of complementary theoretical (analysis of scientific, historical literature, journalistic research on the problem under study, comparative analysis of texts, comparison, generalization) and empirical (study and generalization of normative and legal documents of the concepts of caesaropapism and secularism) methods. Results. The considered model of understanding secularization and secularism in the realities of Russian history indicates the secondary, borrowed nature of these concepts. According to the authors, the Decrees of the Byzantine emperors, acts of the Council of people’s Commissars “On the separation of Church from state and Church from school” did not meet the expectations of the participants of the local Council of the Russian Orthodox Church, who expressed their aspirations in the document “on the legal status of the Russian Orthodox Church”. Discussion and Conclusion. The expected effect of the actual understanding of the processes can be a well-built model of state-Church relations, which can only appear if the diverse interests of the actors of modern state-religious policy in Russia are balanced. The proposed provisions and conclusions create prerequisites for further study of the phenomena of secularism and secularization in the design of the state-religious landscape of the near future.

The paper presents the analysis of the financial and economic activity of the Kemerovo Deanery of the Russian Orthodox Church Diocese of Novosibirsk and Barnaul under a controversial government policy when the Russian Orthodox Church continued to be subject to restrictions and harassment even after receiving a legal status in the USSR. On the basis of archival documents, especially accounting and deanery reports, the authors examine the main sources of income and expenditures of the Orthodox community of Kemerovo Region. Upon the application of a systematic and comprehensive approach in the study of the factors that had a significant impact on the activities of the Russian Orthodox Church, the authors conclude that there was sufficient stability in the financial situation of the Orthodox parishes in Kemerovo Region in 1945 – 1965. For two decades, in terms of anti-religious propaganda, the Orthodox parishes were self-funded, continued to have significant tangible property, carried out religious centers deductions and contributions to public funds.

At the article discussed the legal status of woman against protection from violence by men in Russia in the late XVIII-early XIX centuries. The author presents the results of a study which content the cases of the Tobolsk ecclesiastical consistory about beating women by men from the high classes and clerical order, identifies common features, identifies the stages of proceedings in such cases at that time, and studies the attitude of the Russian Orthodox church to this problem. It was established that the procedure regarding the punishment of men from high classes and clerical order developed according to the established custom and differed only in the absence of a final paragraph - about sending the order to the lead, because of the lead for clerical order were sovereign Lord. Archival documents indicate that the main cause of bodily harm to women by men in the late XVIII - early XIX centuries were old traditions, and the cause was women «forward behavior» against to, as rule, alcohol intoxication. The consequences were different depending on whether the offender and the victim were married. In the absence of aggravating factors, the offender was waiting only for penance. The Russian Orthodox Church punished her accused wars only with a fine and transfer to another village. Therefore during the period under consideration, she was quite loyal to the bodily harm to women by men irrespective from the classes of the latter.

Статья посвящена церковному и государственному регулированию правового положения духовных учебных заведений Русской Православной Церкви в Российской Федерации в современный период. Основная цель исследования заключается в анализе правового статуса духовных учебных заведений как религиозных организаций, с одной стороны, и как образовательных организаций, с другой стороны. Первичность правового статуса религиозной организации отличает правовое положение духовных учебных заведений от остальных образовательных организаций. В связи с необходимостью соблюдения положений Конституции России, касающихся свободы совести и вероисповедания, положений Федерального закона «О свободе совести и о религиозных объединениях», а так же норм международного права, государство и Церковь ведут поиск правовых решений во избежание дискриминации христиан в реализации их права на подготовку священнослужителей, церковнослужителей и религиозного персонала согласно внутренним установлениям Русской Православной Церкви. В статье представлены особенности церковного статуса духовных учебных заведений, связанных, прежде всего, с предъявлением требования к студентам и преподавателям высокого уровня христианской нравственности, а также особенности государственного статуса, которые призваны обеспечить, по возможности, все требования церковного статуса духовных учебных заведений. The article is devoted to the Church and state regulation of the legal status of theological educational institutions of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Russian Federation in the modern period. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the legal status of religious educational institutions as religious organizations, on the one hand, and as educational organizations, on the other. The primacy of the legal status of the religious organization distinguishes the legal status of theological educational institutions from other educational organizations. In connection with the need to comply with the provisions of the Constitution of Russia concerning freedom of conscience and religion, the provisions of the Federal Law «On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations», as well as the norms of International Law, the state and the Church are looking for legal solutions to avoid discrimination training of clergy and religious personnel in accordance with the internal regulations of the Russian Orthodox Church. The article presents the features of the church status of theological educational institutions, associated, first of all, with the presentation of requirements for students and teachers of a high level of Christian morality, as well as the features of state status, which are designed to ensure, if possible, all the requirements of the church status of theological educational institutions.

This chapter examines the fate of the Russian Orthodox Church—as an institution and community—during Russia’s years of revolution, from the reign of Nicholas II through the 1917 February Revolution and subsequent Bolshevik coup. It argues that Orthodoxy’s legal status as a ‘primary and predominant’ faith, and the state ascription of the ‘Russian people’ to Orthodoxy from birth under imperial rule, were in large part responsible for Orthodoxy’s institutional turmoil during these years. Further, the chapter challenges the use of the term ‘secularization’ with respect to the Bolshevik regime’s anti-religious policies. In the span of weeks, the Bolshevik regime not only homogenized Orthodoxy into the mix of ‘traditional faiths’—all pinpointed for eradication—but also relegated Orthodoxy to the position of least desired and most hazardous within that mix. Accordingly, this work argues that, from any observant believer’s perspective, Bolshevik efforts to cultivate the New Soviet Person—which included initiatives targeting the disestablishment, denigration of ‘liquidation’ of religious leaders, and the nationalization, destruction, and museumification of sacred objects, as well as widespread ‘re-education’ in ‘scientific materialism’—are better understood as a form of ‘internal’, spiritual colonization, and a qualitatively new chapter of Russia’s history.
