The Sects in the Russian Empire (1833-1917)

该项目的主题是宗教异议，它表现在莫洛卡人和斯科普齐宗教社区的信仰和日常生活中。受俄罗斯帝国扩张（天主教徒、犹太人、穆斯林）、移民（基督复临会教徒、门诺派教徒）或特定地方问题（乌克兰希腊天主教会）影响的宗教少数群体将不会被调查。该项目的主题是将他们与俄罗斯东正教分离的教派。因此，宗派主义者对俄罗斯人民“固有的”正统宗教信仰提出了质疑。宗教宽容-除了对“外国教派”的宽容-并不适用于他们。调查期始于19世纪上半叶，并遵循宗教少数群体的发展，考虑到19世纪60年代以来加速的社会变革（工业化，法律的改革，废除农奴制，城市化）。1917年标志着调查时期的结束十月革命将俄罗斯所有宗教团体的情况置于新的社会政治背景中。该项目强调社会变革和宗教多元化之间的相互作用。教派与公共秩序的冲突是双重的：他们违反教义，并声称对机构教会的权威。他们并没有建立神学教条，主要是，而是偏离形式的虔诚与非常不同的行为守则，这对工作和日常生活的影响。特定教派的虔诚实践将被重建和比较，作为社会和地理空间中的历史现象，以促进对革命前俄罗斯教派兴起和现代化进程之间的相互关系的理解。该项目考虑了圣彼得堡、莫斯科和俄罗斯其他地区档案馆的出版和存档资料。该项目应被理解为一部离经叛道的宗教信仰的社会史，它是有条理地基于最新的理论方法，以偏离基督教宗教信仰。提交的研究奖学金申请的目标是在莫斯科的档案不可或缺的档案研究（俄罗斯联邦国家档案馆- GARF;俄罗斯国家古代文件档案馆- RGADA），奥廖尔州国家档案馆（GAOO）和雅库茨克民族博爱之家。第二个目标是建立或加深与俄罗斯专家的个人科学联系。

The subject of this project is the religious dissent, which expressed itself in the beliefs and practices of daily life within the religious communities of the Molokans and Skoptsy. The religious minorities who were the effects of the expansion of the Russian Empire (Catholics, Jews, Muslims), of migration (Adventists, Mennonites), or a particular local problem (Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church) will not be investigated. The subject of the project are sects which separated them from the Russian Orthodox Church. Therefore, the sectarians contested the “inherent” orthodox religiosity of the Russian people. The religious tolerance – other than for the “foreign confessions” – did not apply for them. The period of investigation begins in the first half of the 19th century and follows the development of religious minorities considering social change, that accelerated from 1860ies on (industrialisation, legal reforms, abolition of serfdom, urbanisation). The year 1917 marks the end of the investigation period The October Revolution put the situation of all religious communities in Russia into a new socio-political context. The project emphasises the interaction between social change and religious pluralism. Sects were in conflict twofold with public order: they violated the dogma and claim to authority of the institutional Church. They did not build theological dogmas, primarily, but rather deviant forms of piety with very diverse codes of conduct, which had effect on working and everyday life. Practice of piety of particular sects will be reconstructed and compared as historical phenomena in social and geographic space in order to facilitate understanding of the interrelation between the rise of sects and modernization processes in prerevolutionary Russia. The project considers published and archived sources in Saint Petersburg, Moscow and other regional archives in Russia.The project shall be understood as a social history of the deviant religiosity, and it is methodically based upon the newest theoretical approaches to the deviant Christian religiosity.The goal of the submitted application for the Research Fellowship is the indispensable archival research in the archives of Moscow (The State Archive of the Russian Federation – GARF; The Russian State Archive of Ancient Documents - RGADA), State Archive of Orel Oblast (GAOO), and the House of the Fraternity of Peoples in Yakutsk. The second goal is to establish or to deepen the personal scientific contacts with Russian experts.
