Книга Н. Ю. Суховой является продолжением ее монографии "Система научно-богословской аттестации в России в XIX- начале XX в." (изд-во ПСТГУ, 2009). В первой главе обращено внимание на европейские истоки самой идеи и принципов научно-педагогической аттестации. Таким образом, российская духовная школа оказывается вписанной в историю европейских университетов. Кроме того, в монографии проводится сравнительный анализ состава ученых степеней, присуждаемых православными духовными академиями и школами иных конфессий, действовавших на территории Российской империи в XIX - начале XX в. Вторая глава посвящена изучению комплекса богословских диссертаций, удостоенных ученых богословских степеней. Историко - статистические результаты научно - богословской аттестации позволяют оценить общий масштаб научно - богословской деятельности, а также провести сравнение ее плодотворности в разные временные эпохи и в разных академиях, выявить динамику развития этого процесса. Особое значение имеет сравнение статистических результатов системы научно - богословской аттестации с результатами системы научной аттестации, действовавшей в российских университетах. Тематическая систематизация комплекса докторских и магистерских диссертаций позволяет выделить приоритетные направления в русской богословской науке XIX - начала XX в. Анализ общей научно - исследовательской картины при учете церковно - исторического контекста позволяет выявить связь тематики научных исследований с актуальными проблемами церковной жизни.

Монография Н. Ю. Суховой посвящена истории научно-богослов­ской аттестации в России в XIX — начале XX в. Вопрос научной аттес­тации в целом представляет немалую сложность для изучения, и менее всего изучена аттестация богословских исследований. Автор выявляет предпосылки и истоки системы научно-богословс­кой аттестации в России; изучает нормативно-правовое регулирование этой системы в XIX — начале XX в.; подробно рассматривает процесс подготовки научно-богословских кадров и их аттестации. Особое вни­мание уделено анализу проблем, возникавших при рассмотрении, за­щите и утверждении диссертаций, представляемых на соискание ученых богословских степеней. В заключении приведены наиболее важные статистические резуль­таты научно-богословской аттестации в России в 1814—1918 гг., сделаны выводы, кратко прослежена последующая судьба системы научной ат­тестации в России в целом и ее богословской составляющей. Кроме того, автор делает попытку оценить практическое значение дореволюционно­го опыта системы научно-богословской аттестации и его применение в наши дни.
This collection includes eleven articles on the history of higher religious education in Russia 19th - early 20th centuries, its reforms, scientific-theological studies of scholar monks, life and activities of professors and students.

Монография посвящена истории высших учебных заведений Русской Православной Церкви - Санкт-Петербургской, Московской, Киевской и Казанской духовных академий - в один из самых важных и сложных периодов их развития, во второй половине XIX в. В работе исследованы организационное устройство духовных академий, их отношения с высшей и епархиальной церковной властью; состав, положение и деятельность профессорско-преподавательских и студенческих корпораций; основные направления деятельности духовных академий. Особое внимание уделено анализу учебной и научной деятельности академий, проблем, возникающих в этой деятельности, и попыток их решения. В центре внимания автора находятся реформы 1869 и 1884 гг., направленные на решение духовно-учебных проблем, разработка, проведение и результаты этих реформ. Подробно рассмотрены предложения, которые выдвигались в процессе разработки реформ преподавательскими корпорациями, епископатом и специальными комиссиями, создаваемыми при Святейшем Синоде для разработки новых уставов духовных академий.

Second half of the 19th - early 20th century can be called the “golden age” in the history of church mission in Russia: increased attention was paid to its development by the higher church authorities, the episcopate, clergy, and society; missionary societies were active, missionary magazines were published; to exchange experience and centralize efforts, the Missionary Society was created in 1865, and the Missionary Council was established at the Holy Synod in 1913. Since even now the "school" training of missionaries and missionary work as a scientific and theological topic raise many questions, the experience of the past is quite relevant.

This article is devoted to the church-historical assessment of the Synodal period as the most complicated one in the history of the Russian Orthodox Church, which is often estimated with diametrically opposite values and inevitably provokes heated discussions. Special attention is paid to the perception of the Synodal period by Anton Kartashev — one of the most prominent and ambiguous Russian Church leaders and historians of the late 19th— 20th centuries. Synodal system of the Russian Church and the corresponding period were among the most important problems for A. V. Kartashev who, on the one hand, had been educated and active in the Synodal period, and then he became a witness that saw this period being completed.
Kartashev’s attitude to this question is rather difficult to identify, as his statements often seem to be contradictory. The author draws special attention to the fact that A. Kartashev separates the concepts of “Synodal system” and “Synodal period”. In the “Synodal system” the historian saw a lot of negative features, the most painful of which were «limitation of church freedom» and «the split ... in the worldview of the Russian people»: the ruling class, the clergy and the people. At the same time, many features that determined Synodal system were considered by A. V. Kartashev to be inevitable in historic conditions of the new era, which radically changed the relationship between the Church and the state. A. V. Kartashev considered Synodal period the highest flourishing of the Russian Church, its glory and dignity, despite many events that provoked criticism.
The study of Kartashev’s research on the Synodal period is conducted in the light of the “three pillars”, according to A. Kartashev: 1) his understanding of the “symphony” and features of the Eastern Christian concept of Church-State relations; 2) «Chalcedonian principle» applied by him to the Church history; 3) correlation of the external — historic — and the inner being of the Church and the related issue of the possibility of updating the historical forms of church life.

Keywords: Anton Kartashev, Synodal system, Synodal period in the history of the Russian Orthodox Church, church reform of Peter the Great, Holy Synod, the Sacred Council of the Orthodox
Russian Church.

This article is devoted to the theological and educational activities one of the most remarkable bishops and theologians the 19th century. The century was rich in persons kind of them, - St. Innocent (Borisov Ivan Alekseevich), Archbishop of Kherson and Tauride (1800-1857). Saint Innocent was the best student - the first proficient in the list of masters I course of the Kiev Theological Academy (hereinafter: KTA). The set of this course marked a new stage in the history of the Kiev Academy, the 200th anniversary of the transformation of which is celebrated in 2019. The rector of St. Innocent in KTA (1830–1839) became a symbolic gratitude to his native academy for his education. These years were one of the most important eras in the history of the academy, and by the creativity of the theological thought and courage of scientists and educational projects, perhaps the most striking. The 200th anniversary of the KTA is a good occasion for us to take a closer look at the nuances of the church, scientific, theological, spiritual and educational activities of the great saint.

The article is devoted to the theological-academic period
of the life of St. Athanasius (Sakharov Sergey; 1887–1962)
– one of the most remarkable graduates of the Vladimir
Theological Seminary and the most «sought after» saints both
in our theological science and in modern church practice. The
life path, activities and heritage of St. Athanasius are well
developed, but one of the most important milestones – the
formation of the saint as a church leader, pastor, theologian
at a higher theological school – at the Moscow Theological
Academy – is the least studied.
The study of the state of the Moscow Theological Academy
during the period of training in it of Sergei Sakharov, despite
its apparent locality, leads to a wide problem field that is
relevant for our spiritual school as a whole.
This article highlights three main topics that determined
the structure of the main part of the article: (1) the choice
of scientific specialization by Sergey Sakharov – liturgics;
(2) developing pastoral motivation for them; (3) finally, the
identification of monastic vocation.
The author comes to the conclusion that despite the
external susceptibility to world influences, theological
academies continued to keep their internal state intact and
to provide their pupils with everything they needed to serve
the Church. And St. Athanasius testified to this with his life
and ministry.

Keywords: Higher Theological School of Russia, Moscow Theological Academy, academic monasticism, clergy training, liturgics, St.Athanasius (Sakharov)

The article is devoted to one of the most difficult and ambiguously assessed periods in the history of religious education in Russia - the revival of the theological school at the end of World War II and the first years of its activity under the conditions of the atheistic government. The lower boundary of this period can be determined on September 3, 1943: the famous meeting of the three metropolitans - Sergius (Stragorodsky), Alexy (Simansky) and Nikolai (Yarushevich) - with Stalin, at which it was decided to revive the theological school in the Soviet Union. The upper limit is determined by the beginning of the so-called "bloodless persecution" in the church in 1958. The highlighted period is a heroic and dramatic page in the history of the Russian theological school. Heroic - since the school, the main task of which is to prepare the servants of the throne of God, had to withstand an atheistic polity; dramatic - because in this confrontation, to save the school, one had to make compromises, sometimes very painful.This period can be called "extreme", because every day it was fraught with uncertainty or a direct danger to specific schools and spiritual education in general; “Hidden”, for the activities of theological schools were strictly enclosed within their walls, so that most compatriots did not know about their existence; finally, “paradoxical,” for the very existence of a spiritual school in a state that denies the spiritual side of life implied a collision.

This article is devoted to one of the most difficult periods in the Theory of the Russian Theological School: Reforms of the 1860s and their in the 1880s It seems that this period is enough well studied in relation to higher spiritual school. bearing to the Kiev Theological Academy. But ambiguity, and sometimes and evaluation of opposites in evaluations researchers of recent years could not find allows you to "pass the topic to the archive." The famous reform of theological academies 1869 introduced into the domestic spiritual and educational space “university research” model, which established the the new purpose of the higher spiritual school. Fruitfulness of it conversion is sometimes rated very high worthy of theological science, that is, research based on historical critical value and bringing new results; scientific inspiration from academics and students science community; the freedom of participants and learners, replacing the "Bastille spirit ", habitually associated with the spiritual school. But there are others Reviews: the departure of theological academies the life of the church is in favor of a self-sufficient and misunderstood science; destruction diligently lined up during the first half XIX century. higher spiritual education for the sake of one-sided specialization; distortion of the hierarchy of values, violation of the very life rhythm of akademiy as the "spiritual edicle of science". In accordance with this as well The 1884 reform is also ambiguously estimated. Intrigue, despite the many numerical studies, population. Therefore, the attraction of new sources nicknames - above all, sources of personal origin events and events related to events their immediate witnesses and participants.

This article is devoted to the study of the important process of the second half of the XVIII century. - the determination by diocesan seminaries of their place and significance in the Church. Attention is focused on the role of the diocesan bishops in this process, on the example of Reverend George (Konissky) and Bishop Parthenius (Sopkovsky). The connection of these two hierarchs is well known: they were born and left earthly life in one year (1717–1795), they studied together at the Kiev Academy, served in neighboring dioceses, supporting each other at all stages of church ministry.

The article continues the cycle dedicated to the heritage of A. V. Kartashev - one of the most significant and controversial Russian church historians of the end of the XIX – XX centuries. At this time, attention is focused on the assessment by A. V. Kartashev of the synodal period in the history of the Russian Church, which had and have diametrically opposite evaluations both in the works of the most synodal period and in our modern times. The key point of the report is the assertion that the views of A. V. Kartashev on the synodal period, despite their external changes, are much more consistent, coherent and coherent than the existing historiography presents them. The author of the article draws attention to the division by A. V. Kartashev of the concepts of “synodal system” and “synodal period”. If in the first A. Kartashov sees both negative and some positive features, then the latter, the synodal period, considers the period of the highest flowering of the Russian Church. Consideration of the studies of A. V. Kartashev connected with the synodal period is carried out in the light of two supporting Kartashevsky “pillars”: 1) his understanding of the “symphony” and the peculiarities of the Eastern Christian concept of church-state relations; 2) “Chalcedonian principle” applied by him to the history of the Church.

Keywords: Anton Vladimirovich Kartashov, the Synodal period in the history of the Russian Orthodox Church, the Church reform of Peter the Great, the Most Holy Governing Synod, the Sacred Council of the Orthodox Russian Church.

Статья посвящена русскому ученому (или академическому) монашеству, дея-тельность которого напрямую связана с богословской школой и наукой, в конце XIX — начале XX в. Парадокс: призванное заниматься прежде всего развитием богословской науки, русское ученое монашество почти не могло в те годы делать это эффективно. Оно дало Церкви великое множество святых, богословов и испо-ведников, но с его служением были связаны и серьезные проблемы, и критика современников. Особое внимание уделено осмыслению в ученом монашестве своего предназначения и служения и поискам наиболее адекватных его форм. В 1880-е гг. наиболее важные идеи об ученом монашестве высказывали преосвя-щенные Антоний (Храповицкий) и Михаил (Грибановский); первый из них раз-работал проект «Ученого иноческого братства». В 1910-х гг. епископ Феодор (По-здеевский) дал свою интерпретацию ученого монашества, его служения и задач. Епископ Феодор и его друг по КазДА архимандрит Гурий (Степанов) разработали проект Высшей церковно-богословской школы, или «монашеской Академии», который обсуждался на Поместном Соборе 1917–1918 гг. и получил неоднознач-ную оценку. Автор подчеркивает актуальность изученных проблем и проектов для современной духовной школы и богословской науки. Исследование основано на комплексе как опубликованных, так и неопубликованных источников. Ключевые слова: ученое (академическое) монашество в России, православные духовные академии, богословская наука, митрополит Антоний (Храповицкий), епископ Михаил (Грибановский), епископ Феодор (Поздеевский). Внимание в данном небольшом исследовании сфокусировано на служении учено-го монашества — той части российского монашества XIX — начала XX в., деятельность которого была непосредственно связана с духовной школой и богословской наукой 1. Российское ученое монашество дало Церкви сонм великих святителей, богословов, мучеников и исповедников. Однако с его служением, особенно в конце XIX — начале XX в., были сопряжены и тяжелые проблемы, критические замечания, доходящие до отрицания за ученым монашеством как значимых научных достижений, так и полноценного исполнения монашеских обетов. Написание полноценной истории российского ученого монашества — дело будущего, мы же обратим особое внимание на осмысление представителями ученого монашества своего предназначения и слу-жения и поиски наиболее адекватных форм этого служения. Русская церковно-писательская традиция с самого начала в значительной степе-ни была представлена монашествующими авторами, однако формирование особого разряда иночества, ориентированного на целенаправленное развитие духовной уче-ности, связано с началом систематического духовного образования. История уче-ного иночества выявила разные формы его организации: были примеры «ученых» Наталия Юрьевна Сухова — доктор церковной истории, доктор исторических наук; доцент; профессор кафедры общей и русской церковной истории и канонического права; заведующий Научным центром истории богословия и богословского образования Православного Свято-Ти-хоновского гуманитарного университета (suhovanat@gmail.com). 1 «Ученое монашество» — устойчивое выражение для изучаемого в статье периода; на совре-менном этапе для обозначения монашества, связанного с преподавательской деятельностью, выбрано иное выражение — «академическое монашество».

The article is devoted to one of the brightest personalities in the history of the Russian theology – Archpriest Gerasim Petrovich Pavskiy, a graduate and Professor of Saint Petersburg Theological Academy, a famous philologist and Biblist. The author of this article focuses on revealing research principles of Archpriest Gerasim. The scientific activities of archpriest Gerasim Pavskiy is considered, on the one hand, in the Church and theological-educational context of his time, and, on the other, in the perspective of further development of the Russian theology. A special attention is given to the relations between Archpriest Gerasim and later Metropolitan Filaret (Drozdov), his teacher at the Academy. The author of this article makes a conclusion that Archpriest Gerasim Pavskiy was a characteristic fruit of a new theological-educational conception implemented in Russia at the beginning of the 20 th century, with its pros and cons. Realizing an appeal for creative development of theology, Archpriest Ge-rasim was rather ahead of his time and his contemporaries for almost a century. However, having stepped so quickly and so far, he made the same mistakes that the Russian theologians did further throughout several decades, introducing a historical method in their studies, making mistakes, correcting themselves and their scientific approaches. To evaluate Pavskiy's theological methods, the author of the article introduces the notion of »sacral historicism«. In the author's opinion, insensitiveness to this method lead Archpriest Gerasim to some paradoxical results.

For the first time, the Humboldtian university model is considered against the background of the 19th- and early 20th-century history of the Russian theological academies. The influence of educational ideas—direct or mediated by the experience of Russian universities—upon higher theological schools is traced along different historical phases delineated by two reforms: one that, between 1808 and 1814, introduced certain university elements into the life of the academies, and another
that, in 1869, ushered in the research university model in its entirety. The author concludes that the fundamental principles of the research university significantly affected the further development of Russian theological scholarship, stimulating processes of specialization within the field and triggering the use of the method of historical criticism in all branches of theology. At the same time, however, some of the elements of the research university model failed to meet the specific needs of the theological schools. The application of methods of historical criticism, in
turn, prompted speculation about the divine inspiration of the Scriptures, the affiliation of theological scholarship with the Church, and the limits of freedom in theological scholarship.

The article is devoted to revealing the role of the Moscow saint Philaret
(Drozdov) in the reforms of the Russian theological schools of the 1860s.
St. Philaret was one of the main builders of the nineteenth-century Russian
theological school. He did not participate in the development of the initial draft
of the theological-educational reform of 1808–1814, which created a centralized
theological-educational system in Russia, but the final editing of the new Statutes,
the compilation of the first program of study belong to authorship of St. Philaret.
His opinions were the main criteria in the adjustment of these plans and in solving
problems that arose in the theological school during the first half of the nineteenth
century, in the adoption of some theological-educational ideas and the rejection of
others. No innovation — be it the establishment of new disciplines, the regulation
of the life and activities of superiors, pupils and students — was not conducted
without the reception or correction of St. Philaret.
However, the author of the article draws attention to the problem: in the
late 1850s and 1860s, in the preparation of new theological-educational reforms,
although the opinion of St. Filaret was requested, but it does not have a decisive
influence on the general course of events. The final projects, which were approved
by the Holy Synod and the Russian Emperor and put into effect, are in many
respects opposed to those of the views of St. Filaret.
The article is devoted to understanding this conflict and revealing its causes.

Статья посвящена исследованиям русских богословов об одной из известнейших исторических личностей в истории Христианской Церкви первого тысячелетия патриарха Константинопольского Фотия (IX). Личность и деяния патриарха Фотия крайне неоднозначно оценивались и оцениваются не только западными, но и восточными богословами как с церковно-исторической, так и с богословской точек зрения. Для русского христианства патриарх Фотий имеет особое значение: достаточно вспомнить «Фотиево крещение», Фотиевы гомилии «на нашествие россов» (860), «окружное послание» к Восточным патриаршим престолам (1867), тесно связанных с патриархом Фотием славянских первоучителей Кирилла и Мефодия. Статья охватывает 30 лет (1885-1915) и имеет два временных «узла»: 1885-1900 и 1900-1915 гг. На основе комплекса опубликованных и неопубликованных документов автор рассматривает спектр оценок святейшего патриарха Фотия русскими богословами и церковными деятелями, выделяя три направления: славистов, ценивших в патриархе Фотии его роль в христианском просвещении славян; грекофилов, требовавших внесения имени патриарха Фотия в русские месяцесловы; борцов с «восточным папизмом», признававших исторические и богословские заслуги патриарха Фотия, но твердо стоявших на непризнании его канонизации. Однако все эти позиции вкупе были в значительной степени обусловлены взглядами конца XIX начала XX в.: отношениями Православных Церквей той эпохи, спецификой церковно-государственных отношений в самой России, которые нередко переносились и на пресловутую «византийскую симфонию». Таким образом, «дело патриарха Фотия» стало определенной лакмусовой бумагой, выявлявшей «болевые точки» и внутренние дискуссии в русском академическом богословии.

The article is devoted to the theological and academic years of Archimandrite Antonin (Kapustin) the famous Russian missionary, Church historian and orientalist, successful head of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem who had stayed at this position longer than anyone else, the creator of the “Russian Palestine”. Archimandrite Antonin was educated and formed as an ecclesiastical person in the Russian theological school, having passed all its stages: the Dalmatian theological school (1825-1830), the Perm theological seminary (1830-1836) and the Ekaterinoslav (1836-1839) seminary, then the Kiev Theological Academy (1839-1843). The fact of a successful ecclesiastic-practical service of Archimandrite Antonin contradicted with the traditional accusation of the nineteenth-century Russian theological schools in “scholasticism”, isolation and detachment from the real problems of the Church; and it is a kind of paradox, to which the article is devoted. The chronological scope of the article covers the periods of study (1839-1843) and teaching (1843-1850) in the Kiev Theological Academy (further KTA). The article is focused primarily on the spiritual and academic realities. The author draws attention to the peculiarities of the educational situation and orders in higher theological schools in general and in KTA especially during the period of studying and teaching of Archimandrite Antonin. The author examines the educational concept of Archbishop Innokenty (Borisov) that he had worked out during his leadership of the Kiev Academy and which in many ways determined the life of the Academy for the next decades. The main disciplines studied by Archimandrite Antonin during his apprenticeship and brief descriptions of professors and their training courses are also given in the article. The article touches upon the issues of upbringing in a theological academy and professors’ moral influence on students. The author identifies those individuals who might have had an influence upon Archimandrite Antonin: the Kiev and Galich Metropolitan Philaret (Amphiteatrov), the rectors of KTA Archbishop Innokenty (Borisov), Bishop Jeremiah (Soloviov), Archbishop Dimitry (Muretov), Father Superior of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra Archimandrite Lavrenty (Makarov) and the ghostly father Archimandrite Parfeny. The state of academic monasticism in KTA in the 30s and 40s of the nineteenth century, as well as some details of the choice of the monastic path made by Andrei Kapustin, are considered here. The research results in the following conclusion: the Kiev Academy, arranged on a combination of the general direction of theological education of 1808-1814, new tendencies of the 1830s-40s, peculiar features of the Kiev academy and the personalities running it, as well as of the academy teachers and students, in full measure corresponded to its purpose, i.e., to preparing persons for the enlightened Church service. Therefore, it is unlikely that all the accusations like a “bad scholasticism” or a lack of prayerful spirit are true. Of course, each graduate perceived and mastered the offered skills and knowledge in one’s own measure according to the talents and family upbringing, zeal and sincerity, aspiration for future service and sacrifice. In the context of a common theological learning, students’ own talents were cultivated and the interests of each student were developed. The personality of Archimandrite Antonin endowed not only by considerable and diverse talents, but also by intellectual curiosity for a variety of sciences, demonstrated deep interest to the arrangement of life, so the entire wealth of the Kiev “spiritual garden” was made manifest in him. And a special path that was doomed to him allowed Archimandrite Antonin not only to absorb, but to fruitfully realize the specific features of the native academy, which, perhaps, did not appear so clearly in the destinies of some other students.

The present study continues a series of publications exploring “augustiniana” within the Russian ecclesiastical scholarship, i.e. the work of professors and students of Theological academies devoted to Saint Augustine and conducted prior to the Russian Revolution. In this paper we switch our attention from the person and heritage of the bishop of Hippo to so called Augustinian movements of the 17th century and in particular to Jansenism. We predominantly focus on two texts: Magister’s thesis of an alumni of Saint-Petersburg Theological Academy Ivan Troitsky (1859) — a future professor of his Alma Mater, and a paper of his pupil Vasily Bellavin — in future the Most Holy Patriarch Tikhon. The latter document dates back to 1891 and is based on currently unavailable Candidate’s thesis of Vasiliy Bellavin (1888). Our analysis has shown that although the content of the two explored documents is out of date (now that 150 years have elapsed since they were written), their signifi cance for the history of theology is out of doubt. The questions posed by Jansenism turned out highly relevant for the church life in Russia in the late 1850s as well as in the late 1880s —early 1890s. Jansenists refl ected upon church hierarchy and its authority, the “enigma of humanity”, actual and potential state of human nature, grace and freedom, the role Holy Scripture in the life of the Church and every christian, religious upbringing and education. Another factor that elevated interest to Jansenists’ movements of the 17th century during the second of the above mentioned periods was the preparation to a new stage of the dialog with the Old Catholics who had joined the followers of Jansenists, i.e. with the Church of Utrecht. Treating Jansenists’ thought with sympathy the young Russian theologians proved open to consider without bias all truth seeking attempts leading to Orthodox tradition.However in both cases our authors soberly realised that Jansenists predominantly focused on fi ghting the challenges that triggered the birth of Jansenism, which never resulted in joining the true Church.

The article is devoted to the study of the early period of Christianity in Russia in the late XIX - early XX century. Attention is focused on the research faculty and alumni of the Orthodox Theological Academy. Main attention is paid to the 1880-1910-ies. It was the period of the highest rise in the critical study of the early history of the Russian Church. However, for the understanding of the issues and debates of the period, and the author considers the general aspects related to the development of church history preceding years. The article highlighted some key points in the study of this period: the emergence of the 1st part of the 1st volume of the «History of the Russian Church» of E. E. Golubinsky (1880), a celebration of the 900th anniversary of the baptism of Russia (1888) and the celebration of the 900th anniversary of the blessed repose St. Prince Vladimir (1915). Special attention is paid to problems related, on the one hand, to the clarification of disputes of the early period of Christianity in Russia; on the other hand, with the use of critical methods in the church-historical research.

Статья посвящена изучению раннего периода христианства на Руси в конце XIX – начале XX в. Внимание фокусируется на исследованиях преподавателей и выпускников православных духовных академий. Основное внимание в статье обращено на 1880-1910-е гг. – период наивысшего подъема в критическом изучении ранней истории Русской Церкви. Однако для понимания проблем и дискуссий этого периода автор рассматривает и общие моменты, связанные с развитием церковной истории предшествующих лет. В статье выделено несколько ключевых моментов в исследованиях указанного периода: появление 1-й части 1-го тома «Истории Русской Церкви» Е. Е. Голубинского (1880), празднование 900-летия крещения Руси (1888) и празднование 900-летия блаженной кончины святого князя Владимира (1915). Особое внимание в статье обращено на проблемы, связанные, с одной стороны, с выяснением спорных вопросов раннего периода христианства на Руси; с другой стороны, с введением критических методов в церковно-исторические исследования.

The article is sanctified to the archimandrite Cyprian (Kern Constantine Eduardovich) (1899-1960) orthodox theologian, graduating student of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology University of Belgrade (1925), teacher at the theological seminary in Bitole (1925-1928, 1931-1936), professor at St. Sergius Theological Institute in Paris (1936-1960). Attention of author is focused on the views of Archimandrite Cyprian in the sacraments. The study is built on the basis of theological works Archimandrite Cyprian and his diaries and letters kept in the archives of St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute in Paris. Author compares Archimandrite Cyprian's views on the nature of sacraments with the position of metropolitan Antony (Khrapovitsky) and protopresb. Nikolay Afanasyev. The author concludes that all theology, and itself life of Archimandrite Cyprian (Kern) is completely determined by the mysterious life of the Church and, above all, the Eucharist is the Incarnation the very great mystery which surpasses all understanding. Only the Eucharist, from the point of view of Archimandrite Cyprian, gave the foundation for the church theology. However point of view of Archimandrite Cyprian at the sacraments was not easy. He did not consider justified the selection of a complete sacramental life of the Church of seven sacraments: mysteriously everything related to the Eucharist. But in this mysterious being to himself Archimandrite Cyprian was still the most important sacrament of confession, is the great mercy of God love for the sinner; The sacrament of the priesthood, stating the gift of creation of the Church through the celebration of the Eucharist; vows as a monk, bestowing grace to implement the same in the flesh, an angel. Thus, in the Sacramental Archimandrite Cyprian have not been fully clarified by the moments and even some contradictions, which he lifelong tried to clarify and overcome their personal spiritual and pastoral experience. But a holistic view of Archimandrite Cyprian on the Sacraments, as well as all of his theology, defined to the Eucharist as the sacrament of the next century, as the full revelation of all the other mysteries.

The article is devoted to the archimandrite Cyprian (Kern Constantine Eduardovich) (1899–1960) — orthodox theologian, graduate student of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology University of Belgrade (1925), teacher at the theological seminary in Bitole (1925– 1928, 1931–1936), professor at St. Sergius Theological Institute in Paris (1936–1960). Author is focuses on the view of archimandrite Cyprian to the scholar monasticism. It a question already attracted attention of the researchers, however this article opens new complex of sources — unpublished correspondence of fr. Cyprian and his diaries from the archive of St. Sergius Theological Institute in Paris. Life of the archimandrite Cyprian as the scientific monk examined in the indissoluble connection with his pastor activity.
The author of the article comes to the conclusion, that heritage and life of archimandrite Cyprian (Kern) are one of major moments in the history of the Russian scholar monasticism: from one side, they confirmed problems characteristic for the pre-revolution scientists of monks; on the other hand, enriched this tradition, bringing in it the new aspects.
Firstly, an archimandrite Cyprian succeeded to present the “standard” example of scholar monasticism, all his life was devoted to the theological science; he even refused the bishopric office. Secondly, archimandrite Cyprian distinguished the main task of the monasticism –“distribution of light” (“svetolitie”).Thirdly, an archimandrite Cyprian enriched the experience of the Russian scholar monasticism with the indissoluble connection of scientific, educational and parish pastor service and personal spiritual perfection, the center of that was the Eucharist.

The article is devoted to the relations of the Russian theological schools — primarily academies — with the Russian Orthodox mission in Japan. These relations were not confined to the services of the academies' graduates in Japanese mission, but had another, less well-know yet important aspect - since 1880s, directed by Equal-to-apostles Saint Nikolas of Japan Japanese young people had studied in Russian theological academies and seminaries. I he author's attention is focused on this little-studied, yet important both for the history of Orthodoxy in Japan and the history of Russian spiritual school aspect of the topic under consideration. Based on a number of archival files the Russian theological academies students' names from Japan along with their master's theses topics, students' prior to theological academy background and after-graduation life were discovered.
The author concludes that educating Japanese Orthodox youth in Russian theological schools and their further service was associated with considerable difficulties. Despite it the training proved to be fruitful as it contributed to the concept of the Orthodox mission, conceived and implemented by Equal-to-apostles Saint Nicholas of Japan and intended to disseminate the Orthodox enlightenment in Japan through the Japanese who turned to Christ and received systematic theological education.

Суховой // Вестник Екатеринбургской духовной семинарии. 2017. №4 с. 129-201.This publication presents the correspondence of Alexey Dmitrievsky, a graduate of the Kazan Theological Academy, Professor of the Kiev Theological Academy and secretary of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society, who also was a well-known liturgist, church archaeologist and orientalist, with one of the most famous Kiev priests archpriest Ioann Korolkov, a graduate and long-time professor of the Kiev Theological Academy. This article continues the cycle of publications of archival documents related to the life and work of the famous Russian liturgist A. A. Dmitrievsky. The remained letters generally cover the period from October 1904 to January 1928, but the overwhelming majority of letters refer to the 1920s. These years had become a dramatic completion of the fruitful activity of the pre-revolutionary Russian religious higher school and theological science. The “Sorrowful Chronicle”, reflected in the published letters, testifies to the violent exhaustion of the theological and ecclesiastical forces of Russia. Only some individual ascetics of science succeeded in completing the scientific research that had been started by that time and Alexey Dmitrievsky was among them. Published letters contain many important facts concerning history of the Russian Orthodox Church, history of Russian religious education and theological science. Published letters of Alexey Dmitrievsky are stored in his personal archive fund in the Department of Manuscripts of the Russian National Library (Stock 253). Letters of archpriest Ioann Korolkov have been postponed in his personal fund at the Institute of Manuscripts of the National Library of V. Vernadsky (Stock 162).

In the publication the letters of the Kazan theological Academy professor and archpriest Nikolas Vinogradov to his friend at the same Academy Alexey Dmitrievsky are presented. They cover the period from 1893 to 1927. Here we find the following problems highlighted: the development of theological science and the educational process in the Kazan Theological Academy in the stable period of its activity (1893–1898); the specific features of the academic life in the rebellious period of the Russian history at the turning point of the 20th century (1907–1916); the fate of the members of the Kazan academic corporation in the postrevolutionary period, after the termination of the Academy activities (1925–1927). To the letters of Archpriest Nikolas Vinogradov the letter is attached of his widow Raisa Nikandrovna (1928), describing the death and burial of her late husband. The letters are conserved in the
archival fund of Alexey Dmitrievsky in the Manuscript Department of the National Library of Russia. The present publication is a continuation of the cycle of editions of the archival documents related to the life and work of the famous Russian liturgiologist.

In the publication the letters of Vasily Dmitrievich Prilutsky, professor of the Kiev Theological Academy and a priest (from 1910), to his former instructor at the Academy, Professor Alexey A. Dmitrievsky, are presented. We continue to publish a cycle of the archival documents connected with the life and work of the famous Russian liturgist and Orientalist Alexey Dmitrievsky. The surviving letters cover two periods of time, to wit, January to October 1908 and from the spring of 1926 to the spring of 1927. The first group of letters reflects the problems intertwined with the life of the higher ecclesiastical schools in Russia in the period between the two revolutions, i.e., that of 1905 and that of 1917, and those problems coming true in the life of the Kiev Academy. That was the complicated situation in which the author of the letters was making his first steps in science and teaching. They combined specific features of a beginning teacher of an ecclesiastical school and some peculiarities of a young liturgiologist’s formation. The second group bears the stamp of another epoch. The Russian higher ecclesiastical school had already ceased to exist; the ecclesiastical life in Kiev was a subject to persecutions, the churches were being closed, the members of the former academic corporation deceased. But despite those severe conditions, arrests and demise, the Orthodox Kiev lived, the Liturgy was celebrated, the word of God was pronounced in the churches, and the clergy continued to preserve and to exhort their flock. Alexey Dmitrievsky, the instructor of the Academy alumni, remained for them a paragon of a selfless devotion to science, as it had been before. He continued studying Liturgy, and he even took up a decision to publish his lectures on the subject, which were so long-awaited for all his pupils and former colleagues. Those lectures were the outcome of his fruitful scientific path and a fixation of that tradition of historical liturgiology which had taken up its shape at the turn of the 20th century. The letters under edition contain numerous data of great interest and importance for the historians of the Russian Church, ecclesiastical school and theological science. The letters that we publish now are preserved in the Archival fund of A. A. Dmitrievsky in the Manuscript Department of the National Library of Russia (St Petersburg).

In the publication are presented the letters of the former professor of the Kiev ecclesiastical academy P. P. Kudryavtsev to the former colleague at the Academy professor A. A. Dmitrievsky. It continues a series of publications of archival documents related to the life and work of the famous Russian liturgist and orientalist A. A. Dmitrievsky. Surviving letters cover the period from May 1924 to June 1929. At this time, the Russian higher ecclesiastical school has almost ceased to exist. And the traditions of Russian theology as a whole were under the imminent threaten of the complete cessation. It were only single individuals who managed to bring to an end their scientific investigations commenced earlier. Those included the addressee of the letters under publication here, A. A. Dmitrievsky. But the danger to lose the tradition encouraged also other former professors of theological Academies to collect, to systematize and to save for the future the memory of the outstanding theologians-researchers, ecclesiastical figures, as well as of their scientific discoveries and achievements. This process is reflected in the letters of P. P. Kudryavtsev, so they are a kind of monument to the pre-revolutionary higher spiritual school. The published letters are preserved in the archival fund of A. A. Dmitrievsky in the Manuscripts department of the National Library of Russia.

"The first period in prosecution of the Russian Orthodox Church is clearly seen through the letters by saint martyr Anatoly (Grisyuk) addressed to archbishop of Kanev Vasily (Bogdashevsky), who was then rector of the Kiev Theological Academy and vicar of the Kiev Diocese. Theological academies still existed and it was still possible to discuss their work and perspectives. Impressive examples perfectly illustrate the Russian Orthodox Church historical set-up in 1917-1918. The letters themselves were taken from the personal fund of archbishop Vasily (Bogdashevsky) in the Institute for manuscript studies of the Vernadsky National Library in Ukraine.

The article covers the story of giving theological-scientific degrees in the Russian Orthodox Church in the period of the fiercest persecutions against her in 1920–1930s. Despite the antichurch policy of the bolshevik authority, the system of a theologicalscientifi c certifi cation was not completely destroyed. In article a special attention is paid to the story of awarding to metropolitan Sergiy (Stragorodsky) a higher doctorate in Divinitatis in 1933 when he was actually heading the Russian Orthodox Church.
Keywords: theological-scientifi c certifi cation, academic degrees, metropolitan Sergiy (Stragorodsky), Divinitatis Doctor, persecution against the Church.

The first part of the report is devoted to the most important issues of the history of Georgia studies in the system of Higher education and Academy of Sciences. The second part of the report contains data about research work in the area of Georgia studies by graduates of Theological academies. It also tells about the development of Georgia studies as a subject on curricular in Theological Academies. These items of the report are combined because research in Georgia studies conducted in Theological Academies can’t be separated from the similar work being carried out in Russian Universities and Russian Academy of Sciences. Problems arising in the process of this work often coincide. In conclusion, the authors tried to highlight the key problems connected with issues of Church research in Georgia studies.

Отечественную историографию последних десятилетий невозможно представить без биографических исследований. В настоящее время уже не оспаривается то, что понимание русской истории требует не только широких обобщений, но и тщательного изучения поступков и взглядов деятелей прошлого. Поэтому разговор о фундаментальной монографии доктора исторических наук А. Ю. Полунова "К. П. Победоносцев в общественно-политической и духовной жизни России" (М: РОССПЭН, 2010) представляется весьма своевременным. Немногие деятели Российской империи оказали столь сильное (и неоднозначное) влияние на её судьбу, как Константин Петрович Победоносцев (1827 - 1907). И, к сожалению, мало кому из них посвящены столь обстоятельные и взвешенные труды.
