Church Policy

The article is devoted to the Church policy of the Russian Orthodox Church in Eastern Siberia and the Far East with the participation of the Metropolitan of the Moscow Philaret (Drozdov, 1782–1867). Until recently historians did not focus their attention on “Asian” perspective of his activities, though there is an extensive historiography devoted to Moscow prelate. The most important aspects of the missionary activity of the Russian Orthodox Church in Eastern Siberia during the 1810s – 1860s are considered on the basis of materials from Russian archives (RSHA, St. Petersburg) and the little-known documentary sources. Particular attention is paid to the fate of the British Ecclesiastical Mission (1818–1840) and the development of Orthodox missionary work in the Trans-Baikal region, the missionary work of St. Innocent (Veniaminov) in the Far East, the Russian Church policy in the Amur and Primorye regions after the Crimean War (1853–1856), the reorganization of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Beijing (1860–1864). The role of the Metropolitan Philaret in the Russian Church diplomacy in the Far East is studied in the context of Russian-Chinese relations in the mid-Nineteenth Century.

The paper, using archival sources and media materi-als, examines the participation of the Far Eastern eparchies of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate in the socio-cultural life of the Far East in the 1990s. The main forms of education of representatives of diocesan structures and indi-vidual clergy among the population of the region are noted. The effectiveness of different approaches to the organization of cultural and scientific events organized by the secular authorities together repre-sentatives of Orthodoxy is analyzed. The authors come to the conclusion that the peculiarity of the revitalization of religion in the Far East in the 1990s was the demand of the population in gaining new knowledge about the history of the region, the his-tory of Christianity and the ROC MP. Moreover, it was as the desire of Far Eastern eparchies to organ-ize educational activities, expand their sphere of influence, using a variety of forms of work.

Positive Results

Using mainly historical-comparative and historical-genetic methods, the issue of the development of the Vyatka and Slobodsk dioceses, which coincides within the borders with the Vyatka province, under Bishop Apollos (Belyaev), is considered in the article. The author pays special attention to the process of organizing religious, educational and missionary activities, and up to the appointment of Bishop Apollos, the results of this work were insignificant. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time it comprehensively examines the activities of the Vyatka Bishop Apollos in terms of the implementation of a nationwide religious course, which included active educational and missionary work of the local clergy. Under Bishop Apollos, to increase the influence of the clergy on the local population, including the Old Believers and non-Orthodox, important transformations were carried out: a separate vicariate was allocated in the diocese, the Vyatka Committee of the Orthodox Missionary Society and the Vyatka Brotherhood of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker were opened, and the work of the local clergy was also generally reorganized. This gave the first positive results in strengthening the position of the Russian Orthodox Church among the local population of the Vyatka diocese.

Charitable Activities

We analyze the missionary activity of the Bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church Porphyrius (Konstantin Aleksandrovich Uspensky) in the territory of Palestine, which was part of the Ottoman Empire in the period under study from 1847 to 1853. Porphyrius’s preliminary explora-tion of these lands to justify the expediency of establishing a Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in the region, and the patronage of this idea among the authorities of the Russian Empire, including the Chancellor Count Nesselrode and Emperor Nicholas I, are shown. We consider the educational and charitable activities of Bishop Porphyrius among the local Orthodox population, including the provision of financial assistance in the creation of public schools and a theological school for the training of clergy from the local Arab population. It is noted that along with missionary work, re-search activities were extremely important for the bishop. As an orientalist, Porphyrius described local church folklore, collected relics and copied manuscripts, and described his observations. It is noted that his colleagues also sought to reveal to the Russian society the history and culture of the Middle East; in particular, the seminarian Solovyov made sketches of the area. The relations of the bishop with the Russian and Austrian consuls are described.

Nutritional Element

The article examines one of the most important traditions of the Samoyedic peoples, which complicates the mission of the Russian Orthodox Church — the consumption of fresh blood of a young deer. This tradition refers to the practice of sacrifice, so it cannot be fully accepted by the Church as there is a canonical prohibition against consuming blood. As a result, a problem arises that hinders a successful mission among the Samoyedic peoples and impedes the growth of the Church. Despite the ban, there is also a modern medical assessment on the use of animal blood by humans, according to which a certain benefit of blood as a nutritional element is recognized. The state, in turn, is interested in maintaining the traditional way of life of the Nenets. It can be stated that the ban penetrated into new Testament Christianity under the influence of Judeo-Christians. The purpose of this article is to examine the effectiveness of missionary activity among the Samoyed peoples and to identify the possibility of missionary reception in light of the cultural tradition. The authors propose a new strategy for missionary work among the Samoyed people, which will be feasible if the Council of Bishops will consider relaxing the canonical prohibitions for the Samoyeds.

Historical Life

С конца 50-х годов ХIХ в. на фоне активного сотрудничества Российской Империи с Японией Русская Церковь поставила вопрос о необходимости внешней миссии в Стране восходящего солнца. Святитель Николай Японский является объединяющим звеном двух великих держав. Наследие Святого является национальным достоянием двух народов. По мнению Святителя, «все, что делается в Японии, более чем всякое другое государство должно интересовать Россию, как непосредственную соседку её на крайнем Востоке. Оба государства молодые, полные свежих сил и надежд на долгую историческую жизнь. Притом же, оба - совершенно различные по своему географическому положению, вследствие чего в будущем они могут только помогать друг другу, но не встречаться одно с другим на перекрестных дорогах и не мешать одному и другому»1. Миссионерская деятельность святого Николая Японского является достойным образцом для современной христианской проповеди. «В стране, которая была изолирована от всего мира, десятки тысяч людей, услышав голос одного человека, обратились в веру, которая была для них непонятна, которая разделялась другим народом и не имела никакой укорененности в местной культуре»2. Святитель Николай оставил большой кладезь трудов, которые привели к созданию современной Японской Православной Церкви. Since the late 50s of the nineteenth century at the backdrop of the active cooperation of the Russian Empire with Japan, the Russian Church raised the question of the need for an external mission in the country of the Rising Sun. St. Nicholas of Japan is the unifying link of the two great countries. The legacy of the St. Nicholas is a national treasure of two peoples. According to Hierarch, «everything that is done in Japan, more than any other state, should interest Russia as its immediate neighbor an the far East. Both states are young, full of fresh strength and hopes for a long historical life. Moreover, both of them are completely different in their geographical position, as a result of which in the future they can only help each other, but not meet one another on cross roads and not interfere with one and the other». The missionary work of St. Nicholas of Japan is a worthy model for modern Christian preaching. «In a country that was isolated from the whole world, tens of thousands of people, having heard the voice of one person, converted to a faith that was incomprehensible to them, which was shared by other people and had no root in local culture». St. Nicholas left a large storehouse of works that led to the creation of the modern Japanese Orthodox Church.

The article analyses the Russian Orthodox Churchs missionary activity of the in Southeast Asia, with a focus on its prerequisites and the stages of its development. ROC missionary work in the region could build on the experience of pre-revolutionary spiritual missions in Asia, as well as on the Orthodox communities of Russian emigrants after the revolution. Important factors are also the formation of the global labor market; international tourism; and the aspiration of compatriots living abroad to preserve the Russian World (Russkii Mir). The article analyses the Russian historiography of the missionary activity of the Russian Orthodox Church in Southeast Asia. With the establishment of the Patriarchal Exarchate in Southeast Asia in 2018, with its center in Singapore, a new stage of missionary activity in the region began. The establishment of the exarchate in Southeast Asia brought about the systematical management of the numerous Orthodox parishes that appeared at the turn of the millennium in this region. Relying on little-known and understudied historical sources, the authors identified the forms of missionary work in various countries and assessed the scale of activities in relation to the prevailing confessional traditions. This includes an analysis of missionary work in countries dominated by Buddhism (Thailand, Cambodia, Laos), Christianity (the Philippines), and Islam (Indonesia, Malaysia), with special attention paid to the situation in socialist Vietnam and multi-confessional Singapore. The authors conclude that the missionary activity of the Russian Orthodox Church in Southeast Asia has now passed through several stages from the emergence of the first Orthodox communities in the region to the formation of centralized structured management of the numerous new parishes, with missionary work conducted in ways that respond to the local characteristics.
