Nikitin, A. V. Antigovernment Activity of Representatives
of the Orthodox Church in the Years of the First Russian
Revolution: the Case Study of Church Proceedings
Abstract:
The article is devoted to peculiarities of church proceedings on antigovernment activity of representatives
of the Orthodox Church in the Russian Empire in the years of the fi rst Russian revolution (1905 – 1907).
The present topic is understudied by historical sciences. Even though the repressive infl uence of the hierarchy
on oppositional clerics is commonly known, a specifi c content of particular cases have been rarely a focus of
attention of researchers and academicians. However, even though the current base of sources is insuffi cient
to create a full picture, it still allows to progress in studying this phenomenon. Viewing the materials of court
proceedings, the author of the present article compares approaches of different governmental institutions to
the problem of suppressing anti-government activity of the priesthood and provides examples of behavior of
priests in this crisis situation. According to the author, there was also the complex interaction between state
authorities and church authorities (both central and eparchial ones). The Holy Synod played a decisive role
in strengthening consistorial sentences in a number of cases. Uncertainty of criteria of political unreliability
made participants of legal proceedings to use argument of subjective character. There were also cases when
calumniatory claims were made with the intention to solve domestic problems for one’s benefi t in the parish.
Keywords:
Russian Orthodox church, Holy Synod, church court, the fi rst Russian revolution, State Duma, consistory, defrocking, prohibitions in priesthood, legal proceedings.
