The paper deals with the circumstances of holding the Council of Agde in 506 on the ground of the Council's resolutions, the epistolaries of Caesarius of Arles and Ruricius of Limoges. The study based on the context-historical analysis, which is especially useful for ego-documents, since it allows interpreting texts of personal sources taking into account specific cultural and historical conditions. As a result of the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that the Council of Agde was convened on the initiative of the Visigothic king Alaric II, who, in a situation of the external threat aggravation, considered it as a means of consolidating the population of the former Roman provinces that were part of the barbarian state. The circumstances of the Council give an idea of the relationship between the secular and spiritual authorities in the period under study. The event was held under the chairmanship of the Bishop of Arles Caesarius. The Council was devoted mainly to issues of Church discipline. The decrees of this Council allow us to judge its significance and scale: representatives of almost all South Gallic cities (more than thirty representatives of Gallic clergy) took part in the Council; as a result of its work forty-seven canons were adopted. The correspondence of Caesarius and Ruricius about the Council of Agde acquaints us with the circumstances of its preparation and plans for the next meeting. It allows assessing the hierarchy of relationships within the Christian clergy, in a situation where one bishop (Ruricius) was subordinate to another (Caesarius) due to the seniority of his see, on the one hand, but, on the other hand, Ruricius had higher social status due to his origin. The latter fact, apparently, still played a significant role in communication between representatives of the clergy.

"Auctoritas" and "potestas" as a metaphor for the bishop’s role models in the canons of the Councils of Toledo of the 7th century

Birkin Mikhail (2022) ""Auctoritas" and "potestas" as a metaphor for the bishop’s role models in the canons of the Councils of Toledo of the 7th century ", Vestnik Pravoslavnogo Sviato-Tikhonovskogo gumanitarnogo universiteta.

The article is concerned with the key medieval opposition between auctoritas and potestas. It is explored in connection with the figure of the bishop as mainly exemplified in the canons of the Councils of Toledo. Since these words were not attributed to secular or ecclesiastical authority alone, a brief overview of the word usage is first given. Firstly, it made possible to specify the interaction between royal power and the Church, for which secular power was understood as alien. Secondly, examples of the non-technical use of the terms auctoritas and potestas in relation to the bishop have been detected. These cases are then examined. The author briefly retraces the continuity of the Roman notion of auctoritas in relation to the authority of the bishop (mature age, experience, eloquence, euergetism, reputation based among others on such right qualities as grauitas, prudentia, probitas etc.). As in Roman period, the auctoritas of the bishop means above all his power of persuasion, therefore his main management tools were preaching and admonition (sacerdotalis admonitio). The subordinates were supposed to take the path of correction by their will (uoluntas propria). If the bishop lacked authority, he could resort to various types of punishment (animaduersio sacerdotalis). Animaduersio sacerdotalis was linked to the potestas concept. The author suggests that the words auctoritas and potestas could be used as metaphors for describing the bishop's role models. If potestas model, relatable to the sphere of the secular, prevailed, this could cause destruction of the community as a sacralized small community where relationships were to be based on consensus reached non-violently. These observations help to clarify the widespread statement that since the fifth century auctoritas was supposedly connected only with spiritual power and potestas with secular power.

On the history of construction of the stone Resurrection (Petropavlovskaia) Church in Sergievski Posad

: One of the parishes of the ancient Sergievski posad of the Moscow province got its name from the wooden church in the name of the Renewal of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ, in the vernacular of the Resurrection. It was erected to the north of the monastery in 1654 by decree of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich and with the blessing of Patriarch Nikon in memory of the events of the defense of the monastery in 1608-1610. By 1782, by the time the settlement received urban status – the status of a posad, the Resurrection Church remained wooden, while in other parishes the temples were stone. Moreover, there was another wooden church of this parish next to it – in the name of the Apostles Peter and Paul (Petropavlovskai). It was possible to replace wooden buildings with a stone (brick) temple only in the first quarter of the XIX century. Initially, it was supposed to carry out construction in a couple of seasons of 1811-1812. To do this, Metropolitan Platon's permission (resolution) was obtained, the plan and facade of the church with the chapel were approved, a suitable artel of builders was found, the work of a brick factory was organized, other building materials were prepared. However, the events of the Patriotic War of 1812 and its consequences slowed down the progress of work. The buildings were returned to construction in 1814. The consecration of the temple took place in two stages, as all construction and finishing works were completed. In 1818, the main altar was consecrated in the name of the Renewal of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ on the new antimins, and the next year, 1819, the chapel with the throne in the name of the Apostles Peter and Paul on the old antimins. Both events took place with the participation of an outstanding local native Archimandrite Nikanor (26.11.1787-17.09.1856) and the clergy of Sergievski posad. In everyday life, residents often call it Petropavlovsk church. In the XX century, it experienced ruin and rebirth and is now a courtyard of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra.

Revolutionary organization Narodnaya Volya party used a terrorism as a method of disorganization of government. As objects of that except emperor became the most odious statemen and general Vassily Strelnikov, who was attorney of Kyiv military district court. He truly hates revolutionary youth, attorney activizes massive searches and arrests. Strelnikov intimidates them by death penalty that bring them to give wanted testimonies. As the inquiry progresses attorney shuffles and overcharges facts for exact death penalty. Negative recalls about Strelnikov leaved his coworker Vassily Novitzky, lead of Kyiv gendarme province governance and liberal professor of law Fyodor Kistyakovsky. These reports allow to have trust to revolutionary memoirs. A populist Vera Figner propose to kill Strelnikov. She compiles reports about his directions and everyday life. Then to Odessa came Stepan Khalturin, one of executors, the second arrived only in two months – Nikolay Zhelvakov. Khalturin invents a plan of attempt, after a murder he has to drive away a comrade in cart that waits at neighbor street. Khalturin behave uncompromisingly and don’t listen other points of view. 18 march of 1882 Zhelvakov shoot and kill an attorney Strelnikov, but both Zhelvakov and Khalturin was grabbed by people in the crowd. At inquiry Zhelvakov behave hardy and only explicate reasons of his action. But Khalturin make to excuse himself and just before an execution he gave honest testimonies. Probably he makes to put off his death penalty. This successful for revolutionists act of terrorism was prepared very bad and mirrors a state of Narodnaya Volya party after one year of Alexander II assassination.

This article is devoted to the compilation of a socio-cultural portrait of professors and lecturers of Russian Universities and Theological Academies – participants of the 1917-1918 Local Council of the Orthodox Church of Russia. The author analyzes the composition of the Pre-Council Commission of 1906, the Pre-Council Commission of 1917 and draws attention to the increasing role of professors in the preparation of Church reform. The professors invited to work on the project of the future Council found a new meaning for their activities, another opportunity to serve the Church. Leading experts in various fields of theological, historical sciences, and law were those who contributed to the discussions of public associations, church-state forums a high scientific level of argumentation and the construction of concepts of Church development. 46 professors and lecturers of Russian Universities and Theological Academies took part in the work of the Council in 1917. In the article, the author analyzes the social composition of the group, education, academic statuses. The author concludes that despite the differences, scholars nevertheless had a lot in common. Origin (36 out of 46 people were born in families belonging to the clergy) and education (35 out of 46 people studied in theological academies) made this group a single scientific community with similar values and ideas. This explains the absence of major conflicts between professors and lecturers of Universities and Theological Academies. The work on the preparation of the Church reform, the non-institutional position in relation to the Church organization made it possible for them to acquire a new corporate identity: at the Council of 1917, scientists felt themselves to be the “Church elite”, which can and should maintain the core of the new ecclesiology – conciliarity (sobornost’).

Special features of the anti-church repression in Nizhny Novgorod province and the response of the diocesan authorities in 1918–1921

The article examines the transformation of relations between the state and the Church in the aspect of the repressive policy of the Soviet government on the example of the Nizhny Novgorod diocese in the period 1918 – 1921. This study reflects issues directly related to the reaction of the church administration to the unfolding full-scale persecution. The author compares the situation in the Nizhny Novgorod diocese with the historical circumstances in other dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church and finds that the Nizhny Novgorod scenario is typical. Nevertheless, there are some features of the historical picture on the Nizhny Novgorod land, due to certain circumstances and personal characteristics of representatives of both secular and Ecclesiastical authorities. This article hypothesizes that the loyal position of the ruling bishop and the diocesan council in relation to the Soviet government did not lead to the cessation of persecution, but contributed to a partial improvement in the state of church affairs in the field. The analysis of the historical situation shows how the degree of loyalty of the diocesan administration towards the new government has changed, taking into account the aggressive pressure from the ruling circles. Russian Russian Orthodox Church. The results of this study can be used in works aimed at studying the history of the Russian Orthodox Church during the period of the beginning of the persecution to obtain a holistic picture of church life, the life of believers in Russia on the example of the Russian province.

Problems of Russian Church diaspora in Finland, with the story of Valaam monastery in the interwar period as an example

Shevchenko Tatyana (2022) "Problems of Russian Church diaspora in Finland, with the story of Valaam monastery in the interwar period as an example ", Vestnik Pravoslavnogo Sviato-Tikhonovskogo gumanitarnogo universiteta.

The article examines the period of the history of the Transfiguration of the Valaam Monastery of 1918 - 1939, before the evacuation to Heyniavesi. The famous Russian monastery, which belonged to the Diocese of Finland and Vyborg of the Orthodox Russian Church, had to adapt to life in independent Finland. The conditions of the monastery existence had changed significantly after the declaration of independence of this country and the change of the state system in Russia. In 1918, the Finnish government awarded the diocese the status of the second state church of the national minority. Despite the difficulties of socio-political, economic and jurisdictional nature, active finnization, which included the imposed calendar reform, the monastery became a symbol of steadfastness, evidence of the greatness of Russian culture and loyalty to Orthodoxy for Russian emigration around the world. The monastery leadership managed to find a common language with the church and secular authorities of Finland, the monastery won the respect and love of ordinary Finlanders. It can be said that the monastery has found its place in a new Western society. However, the author believes that it is possible to assert about the "prosperity" or "flourishing" of the Valaam Monastery at that time only conditionally, in comparison with the sad fate of monasteries in the USSR. She recalls the contradictory events in the story of the Valaam Monastery in the period, which influenced the fate of its inhabitants and the monastery itself, contributed to the reduction in the number of the brotherhood and the appearance of a "split" in it, and proves that visible well-being was the attribute of an artificially created image, although it had a positive meaning.

Ilyinsky ", Vestnik Pravoslavnogo Sviato-Tikhonovskogo gumanitarnogo universiteta. Seriia II : Istoriia. Istoriia Russkoy Pravoslavnoy Tserkvi, 2022, Iss. 109, pp. 143-168 (in Russian).

This publication introduces into the scientific circulation the letters of one of the famous Russian Orthodox Church hierarchs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a member of the State Council, a famous theological writer Archbishop Nikolai (Ziorov), which relate to the early period of the hierarch’s biography, associated with his service at the theological and educational department. The letters were addressed to Nikifor Alexandrovich Ilyinsky, an Assistant Inspector at the Vologda Theological Seminary. In his letters Archbishop Nikolay dealt with various topics, but to a greater extent he considered the problems of theological schools, thus, the letters are the most valuable source on the history of theological education at the Synodal period. The letters also noted the destinies of those individuals whose life path was connected with the Vologda Diocese and the Vologda Theological Seminary. The particular interest is the characterization of the control and auditing activities held by the Educational Committee under the Holy Synod, as well as individual auditors and events which took place in theological schools at the considered period. The purpose of the publication of the letters is to show the view of one of the hierarchs of the Russian Church of the early twentieth century on the problems and controversial issues of the inner life of theological schools. The published letters can be found in N. A. Ilyinsky’s diary, which is stored in the State Archive of the Vologda Region.
