E. E. Golubinsky, one of the most prominent natives of the Kostroma land, the largest historian of the Russian Orthodox Church, the first of the professors of the Moscow Theological Academy, elected as an ordinary academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. Through the prism of the milestones of the historian’s biography, the article examines the general trends in the socio-cultural development of Russia in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries The specific features in the culture of everyday life of the Orthodox clergy are analyzed, the problem field of church educational institutions is structured, the portrait characteristic of the theological and academic corporation is personalized, its role in the historical and cultural development of Russian society is revealed. The amazing fate of E. E. Golubinsky, his intellectual honesty, commitment to the religious, moral and institutional reorganization of the historical church are updated in the context of contemporary problems of Russian education and society as a whole. The problematic connotations in the development of theological and academic corporations are revealed — the lack of a single intellectual and spiritual space in their coexistence, a certain disconnectedness of their position in the socio-cultural development of society, the need to deepen their interaction with representatives of secular intelligentsia. The necessary consequence of the synergy of scientific knowledge and spiritual faith is the construction of the Orthodox philosophy of history, which in the context of the crisis that is being experienced today, essential discourse is of practical importance in the inevitability of dialogue and the inevitability of creative transformation of personality in the modern world.

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 article analyzes the changes in the spiritual, moral and religious climate in Russian society in XIX - early XX century. The peculiarities of national modernization, that predetermined the gradual destruction of the traditional patriarchal way of life of the masses, are revealed; they led to the transformation of the world towards its secularization. The underlying problems of "religious ignorance" of a large part of the Orthodox population of the central part of Russia are determined, which are expressed in a large number of superstitions, prejudices and heresies incompatible with the official teaching. The crisis of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) is characterized, which is expressed in the rapid numerical growth of the various sects, strengthening of the Old Believer communities, the development of free God-seeking and spreading atheism. The pedagogical foundations of Russian Institute of elders are considered in the article, which determine certain anthropological strategy for Russia and are based not only on legal laws, but also on spiritual and moral primordial. Great importance is paid to the justification of the role of the institutions of elders in matters of correction of juvenile offenders.

This article engages in close analysis of how Andrey Zvyagintsev depicts corruption and its various manifestations: moral, familial, societal, and institutional, in Leviathan (Leviafan, 2014). While other post-Soviet films address the problem of prevalent corruption in Russia, Zvyagintsev’s work is the first to provoke strong public reactions, not only from government and Russian Orthodox Church officials, but also from Orthodox and political activist groups. The film demonstrates that the instances of legal and moral failings in one aspect of existence are a sign of a much deeper and wider-ranging problem that affects all other spheres of human experience. By elevating corruption from a well-known and accepted mundane problem to a religio-philosophical one, Leviathan creates a sense of shared culpability that underpins contemporary Russian society.

Статья посвящена практике награждения иерархическими отличиями священнослужителей, трудившихся в системе духовного образования в XIX в. В данном исследовании ставится цель изучить обстоятельства и условия награждения учёных клириков богослужебными отличиями в рассматриваемый хронологический период. Для этого анализируется деятельность представителей учёного духовенства данного времени, даётся оценка их трудов, изучаются биографии и послужные списки. Знакомство с наградной системой Русской Православной Церкви XIX в. показало, что преподаватели учебных учреждений в священном сане представляли совершенно особый разряд духовенства, награждение которого зачастую зависело не от выслуги лет, а от вклада в развитие церковной науки. В духовных учебных заведениях награждались ректоры, инспекторы, библиотекари и заслуженные преподаватели. Обычно представители администрации в академиях и семинариях получали сан архимандрита, игумена или протоиерея. Рядовые преподаватели за понесённые труды могли быть удостоены правом ношения набедренника, скуфьи, камилавки или наперсного креста. Кроме того, аналогичными отличиями награждались преподаватели иных учебных учреждений, если их деятельность была связана с религиозным образованием и просвещением. The article is devoted to the practice of awarding hierarchical distinctions to clergymen who worked in the system of spiritual education in the XIX century. The purpose of this study is to study the circumstances and conditions of awarding academic clerics with liturgical distinctions in the considered chronological period. To do this, the activities of the representatives of the learned clergy of this time are analyzed, their works are evaluated, biographies and service records are studied. Introduction to the award system of the Russian Orthodox Church of the XIX century. It showed that the teachers of educational institutions in the holy order represented a very special category of clergy, the award of which often depended not on the length of service, but on the contribution to the development of church science. Rectors, inspectors, librarians, and distinguished teachers were awarded in ecclesiastical educational institutions. Usually, representatives of the administration in academies and seminaries received the rank of archimandrite, abbot or archpriest. Ordinary teachers could be awarded the right to wear a loincloth, skufya, kamilavka or a pectoral cross for their hard work. In addition, similar distinctions were awarded to teachers of other educational institutions, if their activities were related to religious education and enlightenment.

Основная цель исследования - сопоставление основных критериев получения ученых званий, присваиваемых Министерством науки и высшего образования Российской Федерации и Номинационной комиссией Учебного комитета Русской Православной Церкви, а также изучение мотивации и обоснование необходимости получения учёных званий руководящими, научными и научно-педагогическими работниками высших духовных учебных заведений Русской Православной Церкви. Главным противоречием в получении работниками духовных образовательных организаций государственных учёных званий на сегодняшний день является половинчатая позиция Министерства науки и высшего образования по отношению к богословским учёным степеням и званиям. Это выражается в том, что при прохождении процедуры государственной аккредитации богословские учёные степени и звания учитываются, а при присвоении учёных званий и при приёме на работу (на должности профессора и доцента) - нет. Однако, сам факт признания богословских степеней при прохождении процедуры государственной аккредитации является значимым фактором обоснования необходимости получения церковных учёных званий руководящими, научными и научно-педагогическими работника ми высших духовных учебных заведений Русской Православной Церкви. Сопоставление основных критериев получения учёных званий, присваиваемых Министерством науки и высшего образования Российской Федерации и Номинационной комиссией Учебного комитета Русской Православной Церкви, показывает, что основные различия в том, что Номинационная комиссия признаёт государственные учёные степени и звания, а Министерство образования и науки не признаёт богословские степени и звания. The main goal of the study is to compare the main criteria for obtaining academic titles assigned by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and the Nomination Commission of the Study Committee of the Russian Orthodox Church, as well as to study the motivation and justification for the need to obtain academic titles by leading, scientific and scientific pedagogical workers of higher theological educational institutions Russian Orthodox Church. The main contradiction in the receipt of state academic ranks by employees of spiritual educational organizations today is the halfhearted position of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in relation to theological academic degrees and ranks. This is expressed in the fact that when passing the procedure of state accreditation, theological academic degrees and ranks are taken into account, but when awarding academic ranks and when hiring (for the positions of professor and associate professor) - not. However, the very fact of recognition of theological degrees during the state accreditation procedure is a significant factor in substantiating the need for church scholars to receive leading, scientific and scientificpedagogical workers of high er theological educational institutions of the Russian Orthodox Church. A comparison of the main criteria for obtaining academic degrees assigned by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and the Nomination Commission of the Study Committee of the Russian Orthodox Church shows that the main differences are that the Nomination Commission recogniz es state academic degrees and titles, and the Ministry of Education and Science does not recognize theological degrees and ranks.

The subject of this research is the largest printed compilation of the lives of the saints venerated by the Russian Orthodox Church – “Lives of the Saints” by St. Dimitry of Rostov (1689-1705). Despite a widespread opinion that the only printed book on the Russian history until the middle of the XVIII century was the “Synopsis” by Innokenty Gizel, the author refers to “Lives of the Saints” as a landmark of historical writing that reflects crucial events in the Russian history from ancient times until early XVIII century. Traditionally viewed as a literary and hagiographical landmark, “Lives of the Saints” by St. Dimitri Rostov were out of the scope for the researchers of Russian historiography. This article is the first to conduct comprehensive analysis of historical records contained in the lives of Russian saints as part of the compilation “Live of the Saints”. Emphasis is places on the representation of events of the past. The research demonstrates that “Lives of the Saints” included descriptions of the milestones in Church and political history. Featuring certain aspect of scientific writings (accuracy of dates, critical analysis of sources, reference apparatus), they conveyed a special, Christian perception of Russian history as a chain of miracles of the saints and the Virgin Mary. The conclusion is made on the considerable importance of “Lives of the Saints” in proliferation of information on the Russian past among broad population, and formation of historical memory of the Russian society of the XVIII – XIX centuries.

The paper analyzes one of the aspects of the comprehensive post-revolutionary Soviet policy for the “emancipation of women” - anti-religious work among the female population, which was closely intertwined with the general practices of militant atheism and anti-religious work among the population. However, in the author's opinion, working with women was a separate line of efforts of early Soviet cultural traders that required special consideration. The struggle against the church, faith and believers occupied one of the central places in the general policy of modernization of the country according to the Soviet type, and it was the high level of religiosity, mainly of the female population, that seemed to be the biggest obstacle on the way of building a godless New society. If such work as the creation of institutions of motherhood and infancy, women's educational program, the involvement of women in Soviet social life, despite massive resistance, found at least any response among certain segments of the population, then a campaign to seize church values, persecution of clergy, attempts to undermine Orthodox axiological basis for the existence of Russian society was caused only by persistent negativism and tough opposition from the population, primarily women...
