Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow (Vasily Ivanovich Bellavin, 1865–1925) is one of the most important figures of both Russian and Orthodox Church history in the 20th century. Yet 90 years after his death this remains the only complete biography ever published in the English language. It has now been updated and revised with a new preface and bibliography, together with revised and additional endnotes, by Scott M. Kenworthy. The biography reveals a picture of a man whom no one expected to be chosen as Patriarch, yet who nevertheless humbly accepted the call of God and the people to guide the Church during the most turbulent of times as it faced both internal upheavals and external persecution. Both specialists and general readers will become better acquainted with St. Tikhon through this modest but carefully crafted monograph.

Download or read book The Russian Revolution and Civil War 1917 1921 written by Jonathan Smele and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2006-04-15 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russian Revolution and Civil War in the years 1917 to 1921 is one of the most widely studied periods in history. It is also somewhat inevitably one that has generated a huge flow of literature in the decades that have passed since the events themselves. However, until now, historians of the revolution have had no dedicated bibliography of the period and little claim to bibliographical control over the literature. The Russian Revolution and Civil War, 1917-1921offers for the first time a comprehensive bibliographical guide to this crucial and fascinating period of history. The Bibliography focuses on the key years of 1917 to 1921, starting with the February Revolution of 1917 and concluding with the 10th Party Congress of March 1921, and covers all the key events of the intervening years. As such it identifies these crucial years as something more than simply the creation of a communist state.

Book excerpt: In 1917, the Russian Orthodox Church became independent from the state for the first time in two centuries. The first All-Russian Church Council voted to restore the institution of the patriarchate, and in the midst of the Bolshevik Revolution, Archbishop Tikhon (Bellavin) was chosen to become the Patriarch of Moscow and All-Rus. Tikhon's eight-year tenure as patriarch spanned the crucial period during which two powerful currents-long-awaited ecclesiastical reform and unexpected political upheaval-converged and clashed. This dissertation reconstructs the language and worldview of Patriarch Tikhon, tracing the historical roots of the ideas and beliefs he espoused. The patriarch's mode of speaking about Russia, the human person, and the meaning of life and history represented an alternative to Bolshevik definitions of those same terms. Patriarch Tikhon has been largely ignored by Western scholars of Russia. In recent years, historians of Soviet Russia have argued that we ought to take more seriously the discourse of Bolshevik actors and consider that Bolshevik language revealed a great deal about the worldview and practices of the Bolsheviks themselves. This dissertation proceeds on the assumption that the same can be said of the patriarch's language. It analyzes how this language developed in the pre-revolutionary period, how it fit within larger trends in Orthodox thought and practice, and what it meant for Tikhon, his contemporaries, and the Bolsheviks. This centerpiece of this study is the published version of the sledstvennoe delo or "investigatory file" of Patriarch Tikhon. The file contains information gathered by the secret police about the patriarch from 1918 to 1925. Each chapter relies on different types of sources in order to parse the language of the investigatory file. These include archival documents from the Archive of the Russian Federation (GARF), the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (RGASPI), and the Russian State Historical Archive (RGIA), and from the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. Published sources include records of correspondence between Tikhon and government representatives, friends, and other clergymen; theological journals from the nineteenth century; diocesan newspapers from all of the dioceses in which Tikhon served; post-revolutionary Russian newspapers; foreign newspapers; and memoirs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the moral and spiritual vacuum left in Russia by the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989-1991, some of the thinkers who first opposed the Leninist revolution of 1917 have come to a new prominence, and among these is the religious philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev (1874-1948). He expressed a passionate protest against the revolution and was clearly the most comprehensive contemporary critic of the revolutionary project from a Christian perspective. From his consistently religious perspective he foresaw with precision much of the inhuman and tyrannical potential of the revolutionary project.
