Chaikin E.V. Orthodox pages of the history of the Kaluga region: historical and local history educational and methodological manual / E.V. Chaikin. - Kaluga: Kaluga State Institute for the Development of Education, 2015.- Book. I. - 184 p.: ill.

The blessed Kaluga land is our native land, a part of our great Motherland - Russia. Here we were born and grew up in a circle of lovely Russian birches on the banks of clean streams and rivers, blue lakes.

Surprisingly rich history of the Kaluga region. For many centuries, the people, with their creative work, courage, feat and prayers, have decorated it with magnificent cultural monuments, made it spiritually rich.

The Orthodox world deeply venerates Saints Pafnuty of Borovsk and Tikhon of Kaluga and Medyn, who glorified the Kaluga region, St. Righteous Lawrence of Kaluga, and the holy Optina Elders. The Most Holy Theotokos herself, through her image - the Kaluga icon, showed her patronage to the Kaluga land.

The fates of Russian thinkers, writers, artists, outstanding figures of Russian culture of the 19th-20th centuries are connected with the Kaluga region: the brothers Ivan and Peter Kireevsky, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Konstantin Leontiev, Vladimir Solovyov. Outstanding scientists lived and worked in Kaluga

K.E. Tsiolkovsky and A.L. Chizhevsky. Kaluga land became the birthplace of the outstanding commander G.K. Zhukov. The beauty and richness of the nature of our region inspired writers, poets and artists: L.M. Leonova, K.G. Paustovsky, V.D. Polenova, I.I. Levitan, B.K. Zaitsev and M.I. Tsvetaev.

The Great Standing on the Ugra River took place on the Kaluga land, as a result of which the Mongol-Tatar yoke in Russia finally fell. In 1812, near Maloyaroslavets, Napoleon's invasion of Russia was stopped. At the end of September 1941, a grandiose battle for Moscow unfolded, ending in April 1942 with the first great victory over the Nazi invaders.

We urgently need to know the history of our region, its culture. If we don’t understand how we lived, what our ancestors believed in and what our ancestors loved, if we don’t fill our soul, heart, thoughts with this knowledge, then we will cease to be the Russian people, which means we won’t be able to respect and appreciate ourselves, we will lose, we will dissolve in time, disappear...

Bochenkov V.V. Old Believers of the Kaluga Territory / V.V. Bochenkov. - Rzhev: Paradigm, 2014. - 512 p., illustration.

The book is an alloy of essay, chronicle, encyclopedic dictionary. The first part (“Years and parishes”) traces the history of the formation and development of the Old Believer communities, churches, parishes of the Kaluga province, mainly rural, over two centuries. In the second part (“To the prison castle on demand”), we are talking about the so-called “flight priesthood” - a phenomenon that has been poorly studied until now. "Runaway priests" contemptuously called the priests of the department of the Orthodox confession, who went over to the Old Believers, their former co-religionists. Based on archival documents and rare publications, the author recreates their biographies, and also explores the reasons that forced them to join the Old Believers. The book has been prepared on the basis of an extensive corpus of archival documents and goes beyond the usual local history work, showing, using the example of one Russian province, a broad panorama of the spiritual life of Russia over the past two centuries.

The publication is intended for students, graduate students and anyone interested in the history of the Russian Church, the history and culture of the Old Believers, as well as the history of the Kaluga region.

Based on a wide range of published and archival sources, mostly introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, the book traces the evolution of representative authorities in the Kaluga region from a corporate organization of the nobility to the Legislative Assembly of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation. The authors focus on the biographies of well-known, little-known and completely unknown figures, who for more than two centuries held elective leadership positions in various local government structures: provincial marshals of the nobility, chairmen of the zemstvo council, councils and the Legislative Assembly.

For deputies, civil servants, historians, political scientists, as well as all readers interested in the history of their native land.

Bauer A.A. Dictionary of Pesochen surnames. Pesochensky onomasticon. T.2. Kaluga, 2013.

The second volume of the "Pesochensky onomasticon" contains the Dictionary of Pesochensky surnames for the 1st half of the 20th century. It was compiled on the basis of a database on the surnames of the indigenous inhabitants of the Pesochensky Territory (now the Kirov District), published in the 1st volume of the "Pesochensky Onomasticon" (Kaluga, 2008. - 214p.) and contains the etymology of the surnames of the inhabitants of the city of Kirov (Pesochnya, Pesochsinsky Zavod) , villages and villages of the Kirov region.

The database for the Dictionary of Surnames relies exclusively on archival sources, i.e. the bearers of these surnames actually lived in the Kirovsky District (Pesochensky Territory) in the first half of the last century; more precisely, this documentary information on the onomastics of the population refers to the period 1917-1947. The surnames of the inhabitants, which appeared after 1947, were not included in the database (it is planned to start work on the Dictionary of surnames of the 2nd half of the 20th century, which are not included in this edition).

This Dictionary contains explanations of more than 2 thousand names of local residents.

This publication will be of interest to all people with Pesochensky roots, as well as to all those interested in local history, genealogy and onomastics. The author hopes that the Dictionary will serve the cause of patriotic education of the population, especially young people, and awaken their interest in the history of their kind and family.

Zenkin V.N. Homeland of Marshal of Victory 6 at the crossroads of fate and times: a brief historical essay. B.m. 2011.

The historical and local history essay tells about the history of the small homeland of the glorious commander of Russia Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov, whose name in all states of our planet, especially in Russia, is on a par with the names of Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail Kutuzov.

If it weren’t for such talented generals as G.K. Zhukov, like his comrades-in-arms, like millions of soldiers of the Great Patriotic War who laid down their lives for the Fatherland, we would hardly have raised children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, much less read these pages.

A brief historical and biographical essay on the small homeland of Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov, whose name is given to both the district and the young city itself, which celebrated its 15th anniversary in July 2011, in no way claims to be a deep historical description of the region. This is quite widely, scientifically described in recent studies published.

The book tells about the main milestones in the history of the small homeland of the Commander.

Mikheenkov S.E. An army that has been betrayed. The tragedy of the 33rd army of General M.G. Efremov. 1941 - 1942. - M.: ZAO Tsentrpoligraf, 2010. - 351 p. - (On the front line. The truth about the war).

The tragedy of the 33rd Army is still shrouded in a veil of dark secrets and omissions. Commander M.G. Efremov did not become a Marshal of Victory; he died near Vyazma in the difficult year of 1942. Defender of Moscow, liberator of Naro-Fominsk, Veren and Borovsk, hundreds of villages and villages of the Moscow, Kaluga and Smolensk regions, he and his army advanced farthest to the west during the counteroffensive Soviet troops near Moscow, but when he was surrounded and there was a threat of captivity, he shot himself.

Historian and writer Sergey Mikheenkov, who for many years has been studying the causes and circumstances of the death of Lieutenant General M.G. Efremov and his army, sheds light on these events. In his book, based on an extensive archive database, he opens up unknown pages in the history of the second Vyazma encirclement, talks about the difficult relationships that have developed between generals M.G. Efremov and G.K. Zhukov.



Archimandrite Leonid Memory of Empress Evdokia Feodorovna in her homeland (Serebryanoye village, near the Meshchovsky St. George Monastery). - Kaluga: Golden Alley, 2008. -32 p: ill.

An amazing fact of Russian history is that all three first Russian queens, the founders of the Romanov dynasty, were natives of the Kaluga land:

Evdokia Lukyanovna Streshneva (1608-1645), wife of the first tsar from the Romanov family, Mikhail Fedorovich (1596-1645), mother of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, grandmother of Peter I;

Natalya Kirillovna Naryshkina (1651-1694), mother of Peter I, wife of the second tsar from the house of the Romanovs Alexei Mikhailovich (1629-1676);

Evdokia Feodorovna Lopukhina (1669-1731), first wife of Peter I (1672-1725), mother of Tsarevich Alexei, grandmother of Tsar Peter I (1715-1730).

The history of the boyar families of the Streshnevs and Lopukhins is inextricably linked with the fate of the St. George Meshchovsky Monastery, founded at the end of the 15th century 26.5 km from Meshchovsk on the banks of the Ressa River, destroyed in the Time of Troubles and revived on the outskirts of Meshchovsk, "in the suburbs, on the left bank the Serebrenka River. During its heyday, the monastery had 3 assigned: Meshchovsky Dorogoshchansky, Serpeysky Gorodechensky and Yukhnovsky Kazansky.

The published work of the well-known church figure of the 19th century, historian, archeographer, archaeologist Archimandrite Leonid (Lev Alexandrovich Kavelin) (1822-1891) was first published in the Russian Archive magazine in 1863. The publication also contains excerpts from Fr. Leonid "Historical description of the Meshchovsky St. George's cenobitic monastery", compiled in 1864 and published in 1870.

Arlazorov M. Tsiolkovsky. M., "Young Guard", 1962. - 320s.

M. Arlazorov's book "Tsiolkovsky" is not like the previously published biographies of the great scientist. Rather, it is akin to the fascinating stories of Irakli Andronikov, making us participants in serious research, persistent searches, and unexpected finds.

M. Arlazorov did a great job. She did not limit herself to searching the archives. With journalistic tenacity, he tracked down a number of people who knew Tsiolkovsky and collaborated with him. The stories of these people, previously unpublished or little known, together with documents found by the author in the archives of the USSR Academy of Sciences, made it possible to reveal the image of Tsiolkovsky in a new way. From the pages of the book appears not only an enthusiast of astronautics, but also a person with exceptional scientific and technical foresight, a philosopher, a humanist, who has worked all his life for the benefit of mankind.

M. Arlazorov has been promoting science and technology for about fifteen years. The reader knows his books: “Man on Wings”, “The Future Begins Today”, “The Road of Discovery”, a biography of the father of Russian aviation N. E. Zhukovsky, published in the series “Life of Remarkable People”, as well as numerous essays and articles published in magazines and newspapers. With the participation of M. Arlazorov, films were created: “The Barrier of Uncertainty”, “If the Mountains Could Talk”, “On the Deer and the Raft”, “On the Other Side of the Equator”, “Automatic Plant” and others.



Kharitonova Yu.V., Shcherbakov D.A. Peasant movement in the Kaluga province (1861-1917). Kaluga, 1961.

In 1861, the tsarist government was forced to abolish serfdom. The reform of February 19, 1861, was a by-product of the revolutionary struggle waged by the peasant masses and the Russian revolutionary democracy.

As a result of the reform, the peasants were “liberated”, skinned to the point of poverty, they left the slavery of the landowners into bondage to the same landowners. “In no other country in the world did the peasantry experience such ruin, such poverty, such humiliation and such abuse as in Russia after the “liberation” as in Russia” (V.I. Lenin).

The revolutionary onslaught of the 1960s, which engulfed 43 provinces of European Russia, was an expression of the protest of the peasants against the feudal character of the reform.

After the reform of 1861, the process of development of capitalism and the formation of an industrial proletariat quickly began. Waging a struggle against the capitalists, against the tsarist government, the working class helped millions of peasants to rise up, to straighten up, to throw off the habits of serf slaves.

The struggle of the peasantry against autocracy, serfdom and their remnants also took place in the Kaluga province, where, as in the whole country, the discontent of the peasants often resulted in open indignation and riots. So, even before the reform of 1861, during the period of the growing revolutionary situation, 27 open actions of the peasants were noted in the province. The peasant movement, caused throughout the country by the announcement of "freedom", in the Kaluga province began already in March 1861, immediately after the promulgation of the manifesto. It is no coincidence that the Ministry of Internal Affairs, noting the provinces where the struggle of the peasants reached particular tension, put the Kaluga province in third place after Vilna and Chernigov.

The peasant movement in the Kaluga province reached a large scale. During the first Russian revolution of 1905-1907.

The social-democratic organizations of the province, and especially of the Zhizdrinsky district, linked their revolutionary work with the struggle of the peasants against the landowners and the tsarist authorities. Leaflets, proclamations, individual works of V. I. Lenin were distributed in large numbers among the peasants.

Since there were always a lot of peasants in the province who went to work in various cities, the role of otkhodniks in the peasant struggle was very significant. In the large industrial centers of the country, Kaluga otkhodniks joined the active struggle of the workers against the capitalists and the autocracy. Returning home, otkhodniks sought to pass on their political experience to their fellow villagers, participating in the struggle against the landlords and their local administrations.

In the book by Yu. Kharitonova and D. Shcherbakov "The Peasant Movement in the Kaluga Governorate (1861-1917)" a significant, mostly unpublished archival material is collected and summarized, showing how the reform of 1861 took place in the Kaluga Governorate, how the struggle of the peasants for land and freedom grew and expanded.

The first - third chapters were written by Yu.V. Kharitonova, fourth - seventh chapters - D.A. Shcherbakov.

Bulychev N. Kaluga province. List of nobles included in the noble genealogy book on October 1, 1908 and a list of persons who have held positions for the election of the nobility since 1785 Kaluga, 1908.

Little has been written about the Old Believers of the Kaluga region, including the Borovsky district. The work of I. Tikhomirov, published in 1900, is in this regard a reader for any researcher (1). Over the past 100 years, a more perfect and complete study on the history of the Old Believers of the Kaluga land has not appeared. If new studies have been published over the past 15 years (2), then new documents on the history of the Old Believers in the Kaluga province have practically not been published. We can only name materials on the registration of Old Believer communities and information about the Old Believer priesthood of the Kaluga province from 1900 to 1914, prepared by V.I. Osipov (3), and the Decree of the Kaluga Spiritual Consistory of 1893 on "measures to weaken the schism and sectarianism in the Kaluga diocese", prepared by N.V. Zinovkina (4).

The history of the Kaluga Old Believers in the first half of the 18th century, including those of Borovo, has practically not been studied due to a lack of documents.

In the funds of the Russian State Historical Archive, there is a file about the Borovo Old Believers, which gives an idea of ​​their relationship with the synodal church, which used the power of the state to resolve religious issues for its own purposes (5).

Here is how this case looks according to the preserved documents.

On February 14, 1731, the priests of the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin in the village. Vorsino Nikita Vasilyev and Yakov Ivanov send a denunciation to the Moscow Archangel Cathedral that some of their parishioners, starting from 1728, do not go to confession (document No. 1). These are peasants from 6 nearby villages Inyutino, Kaurtsovo, Koryakovo, Nefedovo, Denisovo, Yermolino. The number of Old Believers reaches 50 people.

It is not clear to the parish priests why their parishioners do not go to church, but they know for sure that those "the cross is put on two fingers, the fingers are folded with the fourth and fifth, and they keep in their houses who knows what people, false teachers, apostates from the church of God, and they send all sorts of necessities to their houses, and they gather a considerable host to them in those houses from many villages ... we will begin to teach - and they scold us in every possible way and censure us as servants of antichrists, and in houses they want every bit of their pilgrims and grab into their hands with anything: a tapor, a club or a horn. The priests tried to apply for help to the spiritual board, which was located in the Pafnutev-Borovsky monastery, and to the Borovsky governor, but they did not receive help from them.

The reason for filing a complaint by the priests is clear: they were afraid of an increase in the number of Old Believers in their parish and, consequently, a decrease in income for church services (“how can the pilgrims not fall into extreme poverty from this”). They ask that the Archangel Cathedral intervene in this matter. And since the Moscow Archangel Cathedral owned in the Borovsky district with. Vorsino and nearby villages, then the reproach that there were Old Believers in his vot-rank could have a negative impact on him. On February 19, the case was heard by the authorities of the Archangel Cathedral, and already on February 22, the case was heard in the Synod, which made a decision: “false teachers” and peasants “seduced into schism” should be taken and sent to Moscow to the Synod, chained and under guard. This decision was signed by well-known "fighters" with the Old Believers: Leonid, Archbishop of Krutitsky, Pitirim, Archbishop of Nizhny Novgorod, Joachim, Bishop of Suzdal, Euthymius, Archimandrite Chudovsky, Archimandrite Platon Malenovsky, Hilarion, Archimandrite Goritsky, John, Archpriest Assumption, John, Archpriest of the Annunciation (6).

On February 23, in Borovsk, a decree was sent to governor Dmitry Chebukov to deal with the matter and, having found the "false teachers" and "dissenters" Makar and Alexei Yakovlev with male comrades, take them to Moscow (7). To control the implementation of the instructions from the Synod, the clerk Afanasy Pugovishnikov was to leave with 2 soldiers, who was supposed to accompany the caught commits, and such an indulgent will be sent to punishment in a secular court ... "). It was also prescribed in the spiritual administration in the Pafnutiev Monastery to take the written "statements" of the Vorsinsky priests, which they submitted. The synod wanted to make sure that the petitions they had written were correct (8).

On March 7, 1731, the clerk Afanasy Pugovishnikov was given instructions on how to behave in Borovsk (see document No. 2). And soon, on March 24, A. Pugovishnikov reported on the implementation of the instructions received.

Somewhat earlier, on March 9, Archimandrite Dorotheos of the Pafnutev Monastery sent a report to the Synod stating that even before receiving the order, he had taken measures against the "schismatics" from the Vorsinsky parish. He sent retired sergeant Fyodor Bedov with soldiers and monastic servants Antip Korenev from "comrade", who tried to arrest the Old Believers, but to no avail, since "opponents (Old Believers. - V.O.) gathered in one yard locked up, they did not give themselves up and wanted to beat their messengers to death "(9). On September 30, 1729, he sent a list of Vorsa priests to the Moscow Spiritual Dicastery, in which those who evaded communion and confession were indicated.

On March 13, a report was received from the Borovo governor about the fulfillment of the order received on March 10 from the Synod: the "schismatics" were detained, interrogated and sent to Moscow (10).

On March 20, 1731, an investigation was carried out and interrogation speeches of the Borovo Old Believers Afanasy Alekseev, Philip Trofimov, Martin Alekseev, Philip Agapov, Filat Yudin (11) were compiled. From the compiled extract from the cases of the Borovsk Old Believers (document No. 3) and the hearing on March 8, 1732 of the case of the escaped Old Believers (document No. -ness of the faith of fathers and grandfathers.

Who are these religious troublemakers? Twenty-five-year-old Afanasy Alekseev, baptized in the church with. Vorsino. He went to church until Great Lent in 1729, and until that time he went to confession, took communion, but did not do it every year. After Lent, he came to him from the forests on the river. Ugra Egor Kononov and taught him and his family to pray correctly at home, and not to go to church, and also forbade communicating with people who smoke tobacco. After 3 days, E. Kononov left in an unknown direction. E. Kononov himself did not rebaptize anyone: neither Athanasius, nor his father Alexei Yakovlev, nor his mother, nor his brothers - Savely, Mikhail, Levon. For some time they were joined by Makar Yakovlev, Flor Nikitin, Fedot Trofimov from the village of Inyutino; from the village of Kuryanovo - Artemon Kirilov. All of them joined voluntarily without coercion. He performs prayers at his home or with other members of the community.

Philip Trofimov is about 60 years old. He was also baptized in the Vorsinsk church, but he did not go to it and did not take communion, and for 3 years he was not at confession.

Martin Alekseev is about 40 years old. Like the previous ones, he was baptized in the Vorsino church. Over the years, he went to confession six times.

Filat Yudin is 20 years old. I went to the Vorsinsky church and even went to confession three times, but

after that he stopped going to church with his brothers, prayed at home and crossed himself with two fingers.

These are Old Believers aged 20 to 60 who were baptized in the same church and enrolled in the same parish. They do not want to change the sign of the cross with two fingers, which they learned from their fathers and grandfathers, to the sign of the cross with three fingers, as well as go and take communion in the synodal church. Forced to confess their belonging to the Old Believers, they are ready to sign up for a double salary (12).

All interrogatory speeches had to be sealed with signatures, but no one put their hands on the Old Believers, explaining that they did not know how to write (13).

When considering and deciding the case of the Borovsky Old Believers, the court relied on Peter's decrees of February 8, 1716 and February 17, 1718 (14). The main content of the first of them was the annual confession. For those who did not confess, the priests were obliged to submit (in the city - to the bishops and judges, and in the county - to the elders of the priests) personalized paintings. These ros-pisi were then presented to the governor, and in the district to the landrats, who levied fines from the Old Believers. "Raskolnikov" they were obliged to rewrite and put on them a double salary.

By decree of February 17, 1718, those who were not recorded in the name lists were fined: from the townsman for the first time - 1 ruble, for the second time - 2 rubles, for the third time -3 rubles; from a villager for the first time - 10 money, for the second time - 1 hryvnia, for the third time - 5 altyn. Priests who sheltered those who evaded confession were also fined: for the first time - 5 rubles, for the second time - 10 rubles, for the third time - 15 rubles.

According to the court decision, all 6 people were taken into custody (see document No. 5). During the investigation, on June 16, 1731, the Old Believer Filipp Trofimov died in custody, for which a report was drawn up by the guard soldier Ivan Nevsky (15). Philip Agapov could not stand the conclusion, and after a lengthy exhortation "he turned from the schism to the holy church" (16). Four Old Believers who arose "wished to be in their former schismatic delusion" and on January 12, 1732 were sent to different monasteries: Philip Alekseev to Savvino-Storozhevsky, Philip Yudin to Zlatoustov, Afanasy Alekseev to Nikolo-Ugreshsky and Martin Alekseev to Nikolaevsky Perervyansky (17). Torn off from their families, they were kept in "skins and glands", performed heavy physical work and, under strict guard, went to all services and exhortations. Already on January 24, Philip Yudin “left with glands,” and on January 30, “during matins, throwing off his chain, running through the fence in glands” Afanasy Alekseev (18). Martin Alekseev could not stand the conclusion. He wished, as hegumen Varlaam writes, "to reject the ungodly schismatic prelest and unite the saints of the Orthodox Catholic Church" (19). Whether this was done from a pure heart or in order to achieve liberation remains unknown.

On March 3, 1732, the dean of the Archangel Cathedral Pyotr Alekseev reported that the Borovo Old Believers Philip Yudin and Afanasy Alekseev, who had fled from the monasteries, had not yet been found, while the clerk Nikita Petrov was instructed to catch them again when they appeared in their native places and deliver them to Moscow (see document No. 4).

It was not possible to trace the further fate of the Borovo Old Believers according to the documents. But even so it becomes clear that in the 30s of the XVIII century. church legislation, as in previous decades, was inseparable from the secular. The Church in every possible way supported and approved the use of severe corporal punishment by civil authorities and itself, in addition to disputes and anathemas, used exile and imprisonment in monasteries (20). All these events had a detrimental effect on the development of civil society in the 18th century.

An extract from the case of the Borovo Old Believers

(l.30) An extract from the file of the patrimony of the Arkhangelsk Cathedral to the Borovsky district of different villages about peasant schismatics.

February 22nd day of this 731st year, according to Her Imperial Majesty's Decree and according to the determination of the Most Holy Governing Synod, and according to the report of the Archangel Cathedral, Archangel Jacob Mikhailov and the brethren, in which he gave the village of Vorsina sent to them from the estate of their Borovsk district from the priests Nikita Vasiliev, Yakov Ivanov, the report of that Archangel Cathedral of the patrimonies of various divisions and different villages to peasants of both sexes to Makar and Alexei Yakovlev with comrades, a total of 23 people with wives and children and widows, who do not know what the intention of the Church of God on prayers and to repentance, while others do not come to them for blessing, and they put the cross on themselves with a two-fingered addition, and they keep false teachers in their houses, they don’t know what kind of people, and send all kinds of requests to them in their houses, and collect -sya to them in those houses from many villages a host is not small, and about that. It was ordered that these schismatic false teachers and from the church of God the remembered Borovsky peasants turn away as possible, having found. Also, those peasants who turned away from the church of the saints and fell into schism, Makar and Alexei Yakovlevs with comrades of the male sex, should be taken to Moscow to the Synod. And in order to detect these false teachers and take the peasants and children of their male sex of splitters and send them to the Synod chained under guard in Borovsk to the governor, the Decree was sent.

And for the best care in that departure, so that there were no indulgences in the search, the clerk Afanasey Pugovishnikov was sent from the Synodal Chancellery, to whom on March 24, during his denunciation, he announced the schismatics found from the Borovo Voivodship Chancellery, such are 6 people, and name:

And about the other schismatics, it was announced that they were not in the houses and all those sent from them drove away, before their arrival in those villages they fled.

And the aforementioned schismatics were interrogated in the office of the Holy Synod, and what they said about that in their interrogations below is written:

1 Afanasey Alekseev

From a sort hopes to be years 25 and more. He was baptized in the Orthodox faith by the Orthodox priest of the village of Vorsina of the Church of Michael the Archangel Nikita Vasiliev, and after being baptized by his age in the church, he Athanaseus went to the Great Lent of 729, and went to confession, although not annually , however, for almost every year, he also communed the Holy Mysteries in the church of the aforementioned Archangel Michael Nikita Vasilyev, and in that 729th year of Great Lent from the first week he did not go to church for this: -de to the house of Afanasiev's father Alexei Yakovlev, who lives, as he said, across the river Ufa in the forest, a man named Yegor Kononov (and where is that Ugra, also whose man is and where he really does not know) and began to teach that they should be baptized with two fingers and not go to the church of God, for the reason that those who take tobacco go to church, but with those who take tobacco who have a great sin, and there is and it is not proper to drink with them, but instead of going to church, he ordered houses to make a prayer, and name evening chanting, morning and all-night and divine liturgy, 750 bows with such a prayer at each bow: "Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God, have mercy on us." And this de man Egor Kononov and no one else rebaptized him, and just like he is Afanasey, so is his father Alexei Yakov-lev with his wife, and his mother, so are his brothers Big Savely, Mikhail, Levoy to the Church of God for that They stopped going to Yegorov’s teaching, and were absent from all the sacraments of the Church, and this Yegor lived in his father’s house only from three days to the cheese week, and after that time he didn’t come to their house and didn’t visit anyone in the village, but at the same time, this Yegor taught them the same thing, so as not to go to church, but to pray in the house also after Evo. The peasants of the village of Inyutina Makar Yakovlev, Flor Nikitin, Fyodor Trofimov spontaneously came to their agreement with their wives and children, and not by whose teaching, the estates of the same cathedral, in addition to those brought to Moscow now with it; of the village of Kuryanova Artemon Kirilov, and he doesn’t know anyone else with the same consent of his. And he Afanasey did not teach anyone to his sophistication 2 (Philip Alekseev said that this Afanasey evo taught Philip to go to church) 2, and they send the aforementioned prayer both individually and gathered to each other in a hut, and teachers and they have no literate person, except for one kid of 10 years old, the above-named Philip Trofimov, the son of Ivan Filipov. And that Ivan, during their time in the hut, reads the assembly from books, but for some and what, he does not know, and he de Afanasey Alekseev, in addition to the above prayer, according to Egorov’s teaching, does nothing more and reasoning about any church (l. 29v.) does not repair the sacrament and does not know anything to show. And to go to the church of God and receive the holy sacraments and be baptized with a three-fingered addition, and also say the prayer of Isusov differently than what Yegor was taught from onago, will not be for the fact that that Yegor told them that to go to church, where tobacco users go, there is a great sin, that he Afanasy also claims the same, but for what and how much, he does not know to say. And then, de villages of Vorsina, priests Nikita Vasilyev, Yakov Ivanov, he was Athanasius of the Antichrist ministers, and he never called or beat anyone from the sacred order anywhere, and he did not sign up for the payment of the schismatic salary, he just wanted to sign up, and wants now.

Philip Alekseev

From birth, de he was 50 years old or more, he won’t remember to say, he was baptized into the Orthodox faith of the village of Vorsina by priest Vasily Mikheev, and at his age he Alekseev confessed through the same village of Vorsina to priest Nikita Vasiliev, but, as he began to remember, he never communed the holy mysteries, otherwise he had a confession until 729 and went to the church of God until 730, and from that year 730 he did not go to the church of God in order to that to Alekseyev of the same village of Inyutina, the peasant Afa-nasey Alekseev, whom he has now brought to Moscow to the Holy Synod, said that there was nothing to go to church for, because there was more noise in the church, but they don’t pray, and some hermit taught it, but didn’t say his name, send a prayer at home instead of Vespers, Matins and Lunch, not 750 prostrations each with a current prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us sinners ". And he Alekseev, according to those words of Afanasev, stopped going to church and began to pray at home according to the above. Also (l. 30), for a joint prayer, he went to the house of the same Inyuta village to the peasants Philip Trofimov, who is now in Moscow in the Holy Synod, and to the above-mentioned Afanasy Alekseev, and no one repaired readings from books with them , and he knows others who do not go to church and stay with them in equal prayer, but by name: the same village of peasants, in addition to those now brought to Moscow, Yegor Florov, Mark Filipov, the son of Philip Trofimov, who is now found in the same village. But he does not know anyone other than those mentioned above, and in the joint prayer he did not see anyone. But he has no opinion on the holy church and does not rebaptize anyone a second time, but go to the church of God and confess, and does not want to partake of the holy mysteries for the fact that Athanasius ordered to move away from that above, but for what exactly, he did not say. And from a friend, no one, so that he does not go to church at home to pray, he is not learned by anyone and does not know anyone schismatic teachers. And Philip Alekseev did not sign up for the payment of the schismatic salary, he only had the intention to sign up for the note and now wants to sign up.

Martin Alekseev

From birth, he hopes to be close to 40 years old, he was baptized by an Orthodox priest of the village of Vorsina of the Church of Michael the Archangel, and what his name was, he did not hear about from his father and from anyone. And according to his age, he went to the church of God and confessed from his birth from 6 times, and in which name years he will not remember. He only remembers that in the last two years he confessed in the same village at priest Nikita Vasilyev, and he communed the Holy Mysteries (sheet 30 rev.) only at one time in his weakness, when there were 15 or 20 years, and since that time in the past 729th or 730th year, he did not confess for his vanities. And in the same two years he visited the Church of God about three times so that he didn’t happen to be more fussy, but instead he used a house prayer with a prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner” no matter how many times it happens to him, and not so that he has the appointed time for prayer, he also did not go to anyone’s house for joint prayer and no one came to him. And he assumes the sign of the cross on himself with a two-fingered addition, and he learned this addition from his grandfather and father, in a way they also believed on themselves, but from others teaching for this, we have never been taught from anyone and there is nothing about the church of saints has no opinion or opinion. And now he also wants to go to the Church of God for prayers to confess and partake of the holy mysteries, but he does not want to put the sign of the cross on himself with three fingers for the fact that his grandfather and father, yes, and he is two-toed from infancy, and not three-toed on himself thought. And he doesn’t know any schismatic teachers, he only knows the peasants Dmitry Ivanov, Agey Savelyev, and Ilya Ponkratev’s son, who don’t go to the church of God and who didn’t confess the same Archangel Cathedral of the estates of the village of Koryakov, but he doesn’t know his name .

Filat Yudin

From birth he was 20 years old. And at his age, he went to the Church of God Filat until the year 730 and confessed three times, and in which name-deh, he will not remember (l. 31). He only remembers that he had his last confession at the priest of the village of Vorsina, Yakov Ivanov, about two years ago, and he never received the holy mysteries. And from that year 730, he did not go to the Church of God because he heard the village of Kuryanova from the peasant Artemon Kirilov, that he was some hermit, but he didn’t say what his name was, he taught him in don’t go to church, because in the house he prays even better. And he, having listened to his words, went to church and stopped, and instead he taught him with the Jesus prayer "Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God, have mercy on us sinners" by 750 bows to repair that, according to that order, even to this day he has corrected -lays. And he puts a sign of the cross on himself with a two-fingered one, because such is the father of Evo, whom he died in the last year 730, he believed on himself. He also Filat has a common prayer book with others, and he used to go to the aforementioned Artemy Kirilov, and the villages of Kourtsova Sofron Ivanov, Provotar Vasiliev, Tikhan Agafonov with their wives and children also came to him Filat Yudin. And in this assembly they make the same bows with the above-mentioned prayer, and they have no other rites, and neither reading nor singing was sent. Yes, and there is no one to read, because there are no literate people. And he does not know anyone other than those mentioned above who do not go to church.

And on the same day of January 26, in the report of the Zlatoustavsky monastery, Archimandrite Spiridon, it is written:

From Sat. "Old Believers. History, culture, modernity". Issue 10, Moscow, 2004

Severe persecution could not exterminate the Old Believers in Kaluga - until the very 20s of this century, most of the local residents adhered to it. The old faith was stubbornly held by the inhabitants of the settlements of the Tikhonov Desert. During the years of Peter's persecution, the suburban Lavrentiev Monastery was a reliable refuge for Old Believer monks, where hegumen Karion was a secret adherent of the Old Believers.

The inclination towards the old faith was then strong even among those who formally submitted to the Nikonian spiritual authorities. It was from here, from Kaluga, in 1695 that the iconostasis and antimis were taken out of the Polish border, to the famous Vetka, which allowed the Old Believers to consecrate a new temple for the first time since the split of the church. This temple (in the name of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos) made Vetka one of the main centers of the old faith for many years. The natives of Kaluga were prominent figures of the Vetka Church of the 18th century, the holy monk Theodosius and his brother Alexander, the ascetic elder Lavrenty, and many others. In the 19th century, with the establishment of the Belokrinitskaya hierarchy, it became possible to establish an episcopal see in Kaluga. And the ecclesiastical and social upsurge of the early 20th century significantly enlivened parish life, which in the past had been severely constrained by persecution. However, this revival was soon interrupted by the tragic events of the revolution and its consequences.

Tens of thousands of the Old Believer population, more than thirty churches, the first Old Believer schools - all this in the early 30s of the XX century. was destroyed or dispersed by the mortal onslaught of "dispossession", repressions and artificially induced famine. But even in this terrible time, the Kaluga diocese served the last service to the Church of Christ: in 1940, shortly before his death, the only Old Believer Bishop who remained at large. Sava Kaluga erected Bishop liberated from the camp. Irinarch of Samara as Archbishop of Moscow and All Russia, which saved the Old Believer hierarchy in Russia. Many districts and streets of Kaluga retain their old names, such as Kozhevniki, Kozinka, Zeleny Krupets, to this day. On the outskirts of the ancient city center, on the steep bank of the Oka, there is a church called Znamenskaya, which is on Zelenaya (Green is the name of a local spring located near the Oka, which has long been considered the cleanest in Kaluga).

In the inventory of 1626, the temple is called "a church in the name of the great martyr Varvara with the Nikolsky chapel behind the old prison." In the 17th century it was a rich church that owned the largest amount of land in Kaluga - 1600 square sazhens. In 1685, the church suddenly changed its name, and the inventory already mentions Znamenskaya, which is on Zelena, with a chapel of the Great Martyr Barbara. At that time the church was wooden, with five bells. The stone church was built instead of the wooden one in 1720 with the money of the merchant Lanin and other parishioners. It is well preserved in its original form. Five domes crowning the temple, a three-apse altar, a low hipped bell tower, an asymmetrically attached chapel, and at the same time some grace and regularity of individual parts of the building represent a transitional step in architecture from ancient buildings of the Russian style to buildings of the late 17th and 18th centuries. Here is how the Church of the Sign is described by D.I. Malinin in his book "The experience of a historical guide to Kaluga and the main centers of the province" (Kaluga, 1912). “Five chapters crowning the church; a three-apse altar, with a portico on the middle apse, standing on two Doric columns, far from one another; pictorial representation in the pediment of the portico; pyramidal low, primitively placed bell tower; asymmetrically and incorrectly attached aisle on the right side of the church; and at the same time, some grace and regularity of individual parts of the building represent a transitional stage in architecture from the ancient buildings of the Russian style to the buildings of the 17th and 18th centuries. The architecture of the bell tower, despite the simultaneous construction with the church, is more ancient. It is noticeable that the bell tower was copied entirely from some ancient original, since the bell tower at that time, as can be seen from the simultaneous St. George's "behind the top" church, was built higher, and the pyramidal roofs became sharper.

There are few external decorations at the Church of the Sign; only on one tier of the bell tower there are small niches in which there are small heads of stucco angels; but there is reason to believe that at the beginning of its existence the whole church was painted with multi-colored colors; the remains of this coloring are quite well preserved on church domes and on the roof of the bell tower. The design of the vaults is ancient; the dome of the church inside is beautifully carved and painted in the Russian style ... The vaults of the meal rest on a large quadrangular pillar, forming two arches and thus serving to separate the meal from the chapel of the Great Martyr Barbara. The column is decorated with wooden carvings in the Russian style and icons of rather ancient iconography. The temple operated until 1937, and in December 1941 the church was in the center of the battles for the liberation of Kaluga from occupation, but, thank God, survived. In Soviet times, the temple was used as a warehouse for textile products. Old-timers recall that after the church was handed over to the Church, it was difficult to clean out the layers of hardened drying oil. In some places the floor was sagging, the plaster crumbled both inside and outside. Naturally, external decorations and colors, icons and elements of interior decoration have not been preserved. In 1960, the Church of the Sign was recognized as a monument of architecture and urban planning of republican significance (Decree of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR dated August 30, 1960 No. 1327).

At the same time, some work was carried out to preserve the temple, including the bell tower and domes covered with iron. After the temple was closed in the thirties, local Old Believers had to adapt one or another private house for service. Immediately before the transfer of the temple to the Kaluga Old Believer community, prayers were held in the small St. Nicholas Church on the outskirts of the city (2nd Klevka St.): only the cupola with a cross, placed on an ordinary gable roof, distinguished the temple from neighboring buildings. On major holidays, worshipers were forced to stand outside due to crowding. In March 1989, the Kaluga Regional Executive Committee granted the persistent petitions of the Old Believer community to provide it with a more spacious prayer building. On March 2, 1995, the church was consecrated by His Grace Alimpiy, Metropolitan of Moscow and All Russia, co-served by Archpriest Leonid Gusev, Priest Valery Ostashenko, and Reader Vladimir Protkun. It was decided to leave the main temple as Znamensky, in honor of the Sign from the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos in Veliky Novgorod. The chapel was consecrated in the name of St. Nicholas. Later, the city authorities returned the ancient name of Znamenskaya Street (in Soviet times - Sverdlov). Archpriest Markel Kuznetsov (1893–1988) Born in the village of Dvortsy, Kaluga Province, into a peasant family. At the age of six, he lost his father. In 1901 he entered the local elementary school, where he completed three classes. Learned the trade of the spinner. In 1909 he moved to Kaluga, studied church reading and singing at the local church of St. Nicholas at the Moscow Gates. In 1912, Bishop was ordained. Kaluga and Smolensky Pavel to the rank of deacon to the church of St. Nikola.

Markel was arrested and sentenced in Smolensk to five years in the camps.

Priest in Kaluga at home. During the war years (1941-1945) he was the commander of an air defense emergency recovery platoon. In 1946, with the direct participation of the Kuznetsov family, an Old Believer church was revived in Kaluga. It was consecrated in the name of St. Nikola. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary house. After its demolition in the late 1970s. together with parishioners.

Russian Orthodox Church. Due to the difficult geographical conditions and the weakness of the power of the Kiev princes in the Kaluga lands, pagan traditions among the Vyatichi persisted for a long time. In burial mounds, the rite of cremation can be traced to the turn of the 11th and 12th centuries; the preservation of this rite among the Vyatichi is noted in The Tale of Bygone Years.

Christianity on the Kaluga land spread from the XII century. Between 1113 and 1123 ssmch preached here. Kuksha, killed by pagans near Serensk (now the village of Meshchovsky district). In the XIII-XV centuries, when settlers from the Kievan Rus devastated by the Mongols settled in many. Vyatichi cities, Orthodoxy took root in the Kaluga land. In the XV-XVI centuries. Numerous monastic cloisters appeared here, of which the Pafnutiev Borovsky Monastery, created by St. Paphnutius in 1444. In the 19th century. one of the most influential spiritual centers in Russia was founded, according to legend, in the XV century. Optina in honor of the Entry into the Church of St. Virgin is empty. In the XVI century. The Russian Church in the face of saints glorified the saints of God, who shone in the Kaluga region, the Monks Pafnuty Borovsky and Tikhon Medynsky, blzh. Lavrenty of Kaluga, holy fool for Christ's sake. The largest event of the XVII century. was a split in the Russian Church, which had a huge impact on the life of the region, which became one of the centers of the Old Believers. In 1748, in the house of the landowner V.K. Khitrovo in the village. Tinkovo, near Kaluga, the Kaluga Icon of the Mother of God was found.

An independent Kaluga and Borovsk diocese was opened in 1799, it included 692 churches, 4 male. monastery (Pafnutiev Borovsky, Kaluga Lavrentiev, Pokrovsky Dobry and Lyutikov Trinity), a women's monastery (monastery in Kaluga in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God) and 3 supernumerary monasteries (Optina empty, Tikhonova empty, Meshchovsky in the name of Great Martyr George mon-ry). The 19th century was the heyday of eldership in Kaluga monasteries, especially in Optina empty.

Old Believers. A significant part of the population of the Kaluga region did not accept the liturgical reform of Ser. XVII century, many fled here. opponents of the reform from Moscow. Borovsk became a major center of the Old Believers, the foundation of which was laid by the Old Believer teacher Avvakum Petrov, twice exiled to the Pafnutiev Borovsky Monastery in 1666-1667. The conditions of his detention were facilitated thanks to the intercession of the son of the Kaluga governor I. B. Kamynin. The sermon of the disciple of Archpriest Avvakum, Fr. Polyeuctus, after. burned with 14 students. Kng. E. P. Urusova and noblewoman F. P. Morozova were kept in Borovsk in an earthen pit, where they died in 1675. In the beginning. 18th century The abbot of the Kaluga Lavrentiev Monastery Karion gave shelter to the Old Believers, and there were many Old Believers in the monastery Tikhonov Sloboda. During this period, one of the prominent figures of the Beglopopovshchina, Theodosius (Vorypin), visited Kaluga, who accepted the Kaluga priest into the Old Believers. Boris. In the 2nd floor. XVII-XVIII centuries. Old Believers lived in Borovsk, Kaluga and in the Bryn forests (on the banks of the Bryn River), to the end. 18th century the Bryn sketes ceased to exist. (By the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, the appearance of atypical burials revered by the Old Believers in the Kaluga forest (now within the boundaries of Kaluga) is attributed to the boulders. The burials discovered by archaeologists date back to the 2nd half of the 18th - 1st half of the 19th century. The presence of boulders over the graves contradicts the version of a secret burial, archaeologists explain the particular position of the skeletons by the ritual of swaddling the dead.)

Beginning 19th century was marked by 2 important changes in religion. the life of the province. In 1800, parishes of the same faith appeared in Kaluga (see Edinoverie). Condescending attitude towards the Old Believers imp. Alexander I Pavlovich allowed them to build many chapels and convert the cemetery chapel in Borovsk into a church (1817). The Old Believer communities were strengthened in Sukhinichi and the Linen Factory. There was no shortage of fugitive priests - only during the reign of imp. Alexander I, 52 Kaluga clerics joined the "old faith". In the forests of Zhizdrinsky lived old believer monks. Despite the complaints of the dean, in Borovsk, Old Believer services were held openly, which was explained by the dependence of the authorities on the local merchants, who were almost entirely Old Believers. During the reign of the imp. Nicholas I Pavlovich, the persecution of the Old Believers intensified, for some time they were forced to travel to Tula for prayer.

The appearance of the Belokrinitskaya hierarchy radically changed the life of the Old Believers. The first community in the Kaluga province, where the priests of this hierarchy appeared, was the community in the village. Tarakanovka Medynskogo u. Some Old Believers questioned the truth of the "Austrian" priesthood, but soon the Belokrinitsky hierarchy spread widely in the Kaluga province, which was facilitated by the proximity of Moscow, where Bishop was located. Anthony (Shutov), ​​who actively ordained priests of the "old faith". In 1880, the Kaluga diocese of the Belokrinitsky hierarchy was created, the first chair was headed by Theodosius (Bazhenov; 1880-1885) with the title "Bishop of Borovsk and Kaluga", his successor Bishop. Jonah (Aleksandrov; 1898-1912) was already titled "Bishop of Kaluga and Smolensk". The last Old Believer bishop of Kaluga and Smolensk was Sava (Ananiev; 1922-1945). In Borovsk and der. The palace (now the village of Palaces of the Dzerzhinsky district) was also inhabited by adherents of Luzhkov's consent.

In the beginning. 20th century in Borovsk, the Old Believers were the mayor, members of the city council, owners of schools, banks, almshouses, commercial and industrial establishments. Of the inhabitants of the city, 70% were Old Believers. After the publication in 1905 of the manifesto "On the strengthening of the principles of religious tolerance", the Pokrovsky Cathedral was built in Borovsk. The Old Believer Bishop of Kaluga was a “district” (see “District Epistle”), while in Borovsk there was a “non-district” bishop Tarasy. In 1907-1911. in with.

K. V. Mikhailov

“Man is born to suffer”... but also to joy too. Such joy was brought by Viktor Bochenkov's book "The Old Believers of the Kaluga Territory" (Rzhev, 2014). We already had to get acquainted with the works of the author about the Kaluga Old Believers. “Years and parishes” and “To the prison castle on demand” can be read on the Samara Old Belief website. The new book differs not only in the large amount of material. It has an unusual beginning - as many as three prefaces! There are applications and a handy reference tool, which included, in particular, a list of illustrations, an index of geographical names and a name index. The last page of the cover says about the author, they say, a historian and literary critic, while information about the author is extremely scarce. Modestly.

From other sources, you can find out that Viktor Bochenkov graduated from the Literary Institute. A.M. Gorky. It is the combination (in one person) of a historian and a writer that makes the book unique in its own way. Here are the memoirs of the author himself, and the memoirs of those Kaluga residents with whom Bochenkov, as a local historian, had to communicate. Here is the dry language of archival documents, which the author does not try to comment on - they speak for themselves. The genre of the book is very complex, as the annotation warns: "the book is a fusion of an essay, annals, an encyclopedic dictionary." But to feel how organic this fusion is, of course, you need to read it yourself.

In the first preface of How This Book Began, we read not so much a historian as a writer. In the 1990s the author, "young and single", in his own words, went "on a business trip" to the collective farm from the factory. Since this all started. He went from the village hostel to "see the ruins", and got so carried away that he traveled all over the Kaluga region. Reading Victor, I involuntarily recalled the epithet "fragrant prose", said about the work of another author. But I would like to attribute these words to the prose of Viktor Bochenkov.

He has, for example, a purely Gogolian plot with an imp harnessed to a rural seed drill lying in a dilapidated church: cranes and magpies. After examining the ruins of the church, Victor heads for the exit. “Suddenly I hear a rustling behind me.” This white dove soared under the dome of the temple and disappeared. “It is white, not gray, of which there are a dime a dozen everywhere.” No, dear reader, the author of the book is not prone to exaltation and exaggerated mysticism. It only “seemed strange” to him that the dove appeared after a dream of demonism with a seeder. However, he is aware that "if it were not for that white dove, this hobby would not have arisen" - a passion for the topic of the Kaluga Old Believers.

In the description of trips around the Kaluga region, I heard echoes of Soloukhin's "Vladimir country roads". But if Vladimir Soloukhin came up with a “naughty thought” whether to go on foot, then Viktor Bochenkov had to unwillingly give up hope on a bicycle and drag it on himself along the “sticky clay porridge”. “I didn’t ride a bike, but he rode me,” the author sadly ironically. Writers are similar in their love for road maps, although their goal is different. Victor searches the maps for the "crosses" that mark the churches. All area maps are “made for spies,” he jokes. What is Bochenkov’s answer to Berdyaev’s question, “What did the Lord think about Russia?” “All this is my land. And these ruins are my inheritance... My paths, which I marked out and opened by me, were the paths to myself.”

In the second preface, "Two Churches - Two Peoples", Victor discusses the true meaning of the word "schism", the concept of "Old Believers" and makes several comments about the history of the Old Believers. Speaking about the schism, the historian writes: “... The Church was divided, and if you like, the people themselves were divided, a “two peoples” arose; "the word is wild", but it reflects the essence of the situation. It is about this “parallel” people, if I may say so, that the book is trying to tell us.

In the third preface, Viktor Bochenkov outlines the places of compact residence of the Old Believers of the Kaluga province: Zhizdrinsky, Kozelsky, Medynsky districts, Borovsk. The author, in passing, throws the reader Interesting Facts like nuts. For example. In the middle of the 19th century, a whole parish of the Sukhinich Edinoverie Church, along with a priest, joined the Old Believers. “The case is unique,” ​​the author notes. Or a fact that somehow I never had to think about. In addition to the fact that Borovsk is associated with the exploits of martyrs for the old faith - Archpriest Avvakum, priest Polyekt, boyar Morozova and Princess Urusova - Borovsk is also the birthplace of the famous Old Believer collector, antiquary and collector of books Tikhon Fedorovich Bolshakov. In conclusion, I will make an obvious conclusion: V.V. Bochenkov writes in the first preface as a prose writer, in the second as a historian, and in the third as a conscientious local historian. A very good introduction to the subject.

It is not easy to write a review of such a book as "Old Believers of the Kaluga Territory"! It contains the difficult fates of people who once lived on Kaluga land, who honestly worked and gave their lives for their faith. It is difficult to read in places - these are the places that talk about trials, prisons and executions. However, despite the horror of the repressions, it is told about them almost dispassionately. Only the retold memories of the descendants of the executed Old Believers betray the author's excitement. But even these difficult details do not bring a feeling of green melancholy to the book. Rather, it turns out, like in Pushkin - "my sadness is bright" ...

I liked what Father Evstratiy said in the chapter "The Good Warrior". Accused of anti-Soviet agitation, he retorted: “Everything that happens in the country follows the Holy Scriptures. You can't get away from this, as God pleases. Therefore, people must patiently endure all hardships in a Christian way and humble themselves ... Everything is in the right hand of God: both power, and the fate of countries, and human life ... ”This is a punishment and edification for us, the current one. And that bright sadness with which Bochenkov conveys words and news from the past speaks of the spiritual world that lives in the heart of the author.

In annotations to books, it is customary to write about who it is intended for (“for students, graduate students, and everyone interested in the history of the Russian church”). We add that the book has a mild therapeutic effect: it is intended for everyone who has fallen into despondency, lack of faith and confusion from the worldly storm. Recommended for repeated reading.
