Management And Development

The article is based on the comparative analysis of regulatory and administrative documents, record keeping and information and reference materials, periodicals and Internet resources. The author identifies the causes, determines the performance, features and results of the process of changing the size and characteristics of the Episcopal body of Russian Orthodox Church dioceses in the south of Western Siberia at the beginning of the XXI century. The process in question was directly related to the reform of "splitting" the dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church in 2011 – 2015. It proceeded in line with national trends, but had a number of negative consequences for the dioceses of the region due to the fact that they being "young" had a less developed organizational and management structure, material and economic basis compared with the dioceses of the European part of Russia. The reform, which has a positive deferred effect on the ROC, at the target stage, led to an increase in the number of dioceses and ruling bishops from 5 to 18, to the rejuvenation of the Episcopal body while reducing the level of theological education, management experience and monastic life. Based on the analysis of the reform the author presupposes what impact the results will have on strengthening the management and development of the organizational structure of the ROC administrative-territorial units in the south of Western Siberia.

Future Policy

Last year, the anniversary of all Christianity, witnessed a number of significant events caused by a new interest in understanding the problem of the unity of the Christian Church on the turn of the millennium. Due to the confidentiality of Ukraine, some of these events have or will have an immediate impact on Christianity in Ukraine and on the whole Ukrainian society as a whole. Undoubtedly, the main event, or more enlightened in the press, is a new impetus to the unification of the UOC-KP and the UAOC. But we would like to focus on two documents relating to the problem of Christian unity, the emergence of which was almost unnoticed by the wider public. But at the same time, these documents are too important as they outline the future policy of other Christian denominations by two influential Ukrainian christian churches - the Russian Orthodox Church and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. These are the "Basic Principles of the attitude of the Russian Orthodox Church to the" I ", adopted by the Anniversary Bishops' Council of the Russian Orthodox Church, and the Concept of the Ecumenical Position of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, adopted by the Synod of the Bishops of the UGCC. It is clear that the theme of the second document is wider, but at the same time, ecumenism, unification is impossible without solving the problem of relations with others, which makes it possible to compare the approaches laid down in the mentioned documents to the building of relations with other Christian confessions.

Modern Russian

The early modern Russian government and Russian Orthodox Church identified as one of their main duties the ransoming of Russian Christians from Muslim Tatar captors. The process of ransoming could be an involved one with negotiations being carried on by different agents and by the potential ransomees themselves. Different amounts of ransom were paid on a sliding scale depending upon the ransomee’s social status, gender, and age. One of our main sources for the justification of this practice was the Stoglav (100 Chapters) Church Council in 1551, which discussed the issue of ransom in some detail. The Law Code (Ulozhenie) of 1649 specifies the conditions and amounts to be paid to redeem captives. Church writers justified the ransoming of Christian captives of the Muslim Tatars by citing Scripture, and they also specified that the government should pay the ransom out of its own treasury.
