- Abstract
Religious sectarianism was the most important problem for the internal policy of the Russian state at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, which in the modern world can be understood as a problem of religious extremism. The pre-revolutionary anti-sectarian works are analyzed. The state has engaged the Church to demarcate religious associations on the basis of loyalty to the current government. Close attention to fanatical and anti-government sectarians. The legislation was regularly relaxed. However, the prevention and detection of sectarianism continued to be the most important task. The state assigned it to Orthodox clergy. This article highlights the basic principles (observation, accounting, exhortation) and subjects (the state, the Orthodox Church, pro-Orthodox public associations) of conducting anti-sectarian work. Missionary activity is characterized in the aspect of actions to combat sectarians. Sectarians were his direct target audience. It was recommended to persuade them to Orthodoxy through theological disputes, exhortations and demonstrations of the inconsistency of their beliefs. Promising areas of work were: motivation of social activity of parishioners; identification of hiding sectarians; strengthening of Orthodox in tradition; suppression of the spread of sectarian sentiments and a return to paganism. The article is based on materials from State Archive of Krasnoyarsk Krai, containing data on the activities of sectarians in the Yenisei province, collected by the diocesan administration and state authorities. The authors conclude that there is no unified system of state and church policy in the issue of countering sectarianism. This did not allow the formation of an integrated approach and reduced the effectiveness of the few measures taken.
