Correspondence between Alexei Afanasyevich Dmitrievsky and Protopresbyter John Korolkov (1904‒1928) This publication presents the correspondence of Alexey Afanasyevich Dmitrievsky - a graduate of the Kazan Theological Academy, professor of the Kyiv Theological Academy, secretary of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society, a famous liturgist, church archaeologist, orientalist - and protopresbyter Ioann Nikolaevich Korolkov - a graduate and long-term professor of the Kyiv Theological Academy, one of the most famous Kyiv priests. This material continues the series of publications of archival documents related to the life and work of the famous Russian liturgist A. A. Dmitrievsky. The surviving letters generally cover the period from October 1904 to January 1928, but the vast majority of them date back to the 1920s, which became the dramatic conclusion of the fruitful activity of the pre-revolutionary Russian higher theological school and theological science. The “Sorrowful Chronicle,” reflected in the published letters, testifies to the violent exhaustion of the theological and ecclesiastical forces of Russia. Only individual devotees of science managed to complete the scientific research they had begun at this time - A. A. Dmitrievsky was one of them. The published letters contain many facts important for the history of the Russian Orthodox Church, the history of Russian theological education and theological science. The published letters of A. A. Dmitrievsky are in his personal archival collection in the Manuscripts Department of the Russian National Library (F. 253). The letters of Protopresbyter John Korolkov were deposited in his personal collection at the Institute of Manuscripts of the National Library. V.I.Vernadsky (F. 162). The published correspondence between Alexei Afanasyevich Dmitrievsky and Protopresbyter Ioann Nikolaevich Korolkov, a graduate and long-time professor of the Kyiv Theological Academy, one of the most famous Kyiv priests, continues the series of publications of archival documents related to the life and work of the famous Russian liturgist and orientalist A. A. Dmitrievsky. Archpriest - since April 1927, protopresbyter - John Nikolaevich Korolkov (01 [13].04.1845–01.20.1928) was a representative of the Kyiv spiritual - academic cohort and the bearer of its tradition. He was born into the family of a priest in the village of Stolbchego, Bolkhov district, Oryol province, who then served in the villages of Zhdamir and Paramonovo. As often happened in the clergy in the first half of the 19th century, Father Fr. John - the future priest Nikolai Ivanovich - in the theological school, the family surname Voskresensky was replaced with a new one, Korolkov, according to the godfather, who assigned the boy to the school. Mother o. Ioanna Alexandra Matveevna, née Lavrova, also came from a spiritual family and was a close relative of the Bishop of Vladimir and Suzdal Justin (Mikhailov), master of the first graduating class of the reformed KDA (1823). So Fr. had a connection with the KDA. John "ancestral". Protopresbyter John himself followed the traditional path of the son of a Russian cleric: home education, with the basics of Greek and Latin, Oryol School of Education (1859), Oryol School of Music (1865) and KDA (1869). Father John belonged to the last class to graduate from the academy before the transformation of 1869, and received an education that included not only full courses in theology, philosophy, literature, history, ancient and modern languages, but also physics and mathematics. He studied very successfully at the academy, which was confirmed by the high assessment of his graduation essay “Asterius, Bishop of Amasia,” which gave the author a master’s degree in theology. However, the course turned out to be at the “junction of eras” in the life of the KDA and the entire theological school, therefore, the degree of Ivan Korolkov, like his classmates, was approved only two years later, on June 24, 1871. Students of this course experienced both the “old” - labor-intensive multi-subject, an abundance of semester-long essays and sermons, and the “new”: upon graduation, they not only passed the usual academic exams, but also gave trial lectures to obtain the right to teach in theological seminaries. Ivan Korolkov, having expressed his desire to teach classical languages ​​and having successfully read the corresponding lectures, received the desired right and was appointed as a teacher of Greek and civil history at the Saratov DS. A year later he was transferred to the same subjects at the Chernigov DS, and three years later (1873) he was invited to his native academy. At a meeting of the Academy Council on March 10, 1873, I. N. Korolkov was elected, and by the resolution of Metropolitan of Kyiv and Galicia Arseny (Moskvin) on June 6 of the same year, he was approved as an associate professor in the department of Greek language and its literature 1 . I. N. Korolkov’s academic service was quite successful; he combined teaching and administrative activities: for 12 years (1883‒1895) he was an inspector of the KDA, which turned out to be the longest period of inspector service in the history of the academy. These years were very difficult for the theological school, and this was primarily expressed in the behavior of the students, so that in inspectorate activities it was necessary to combine rigor and uncompromisingness with gentleness and delicacy. In 1877 I. N. Korolkov became an extraordinary professor. In addition to his professorial and inspectorate duties, for 10 years he served as the clerk of the editorial office of “Proceedings of the Kyiv Theological Academy” (1874‒1883) 2 . In addition, at this time, the publication of “Sunday Reading” and “Kyiv Diocesan Gazette” at the academy was resumed, and the organization of internal records management, subscription and distribution of these magazines also fell on I. N. Korolkov. In 1895, I. N. Korolkov came to the decision to accept the priesthood, and Metropolitan of Kiev Ioannikiy (Rudnev) on July 23 of the same year ordained the 50-year-old professor as a priest and assigned him to the Kyiv St. Andrew’s Church. But less than a year later, on June 25, 1896, Fr. John was appointed rector of the newly completed construction and decoration of the St. Vladimir Cathedral - its consecration took place on August 20, 1896 in the presence of the imperial family. Even before the consecration, on July 15, Fr. John was awarded the rank of archpriest. From the duties of inspector Fr. John was released, but they were replaced by many diocesan obediences: membership in the audit and construction committees, in the diocesan school council, leadership of the Kyiv Spiritual Censorship Committee. In 1914, he organized the Holy Vladimir Brotherhood at his cathedral, which he himself headed. In addition, Archpriest John was a full or honorary member of numerous societies, brotherhoods, and commissions. Particularly noteworthy is his participation in the Kiev Religious and Educational Society, which united the church intellectual forces of Kyiv, professors and graduates of the academy - in 1902-1905. O. John served as chairman of this society. Numerous awards testified to the recognition of the fruitfulness of the church activities of Archpriest John. Archpriest John was happy in his family life: he was married to Anna Yakovlevna - hospitable and hospitable, welcoming the entire large academic family, had three sons and seven daughters, who are mentioned many times in the letters of Fr. John. But still, the academy remained the main value in the life of Fr. John, and he diligently engaged not only in educational, but also in scientific and literary activities. Although, having planned to write a doctoral dissertation for many years, 3 Archpriest John never submitted it, his writing activity was very high. He annually published articles not only in Kyiv, but also in the capital’s magazines - “Tserkovnye Vedomosti”, “Christian Reading”. Most of the articles were obituaries or memorial articles on members of the corporation and graduates of the KDA, journalistic notes on issues of Kyiv church and academic life, but there were also professional reviews of scientific works and local studies in classical philology. Repeatedly Fr. John, as a delegate from the KDA, participated in archaeological congresses. By decree of the Synod of August 8, 1898, Archpriest John was awarded the title of Honored Extraordinary Professor, but continued to serve as a professor for another 12 years. The new Charter of theological academies, approved on April 2, 1910, strictly ordered professors “after 30 years of spiritual and educational service” to leave service at the academy 4. Father John, who by 1910 had served in the academy for 37 years, and in the spiritual and educational system as a whole for 41 years, was forced to submit his resignation. However, the Academy Council, using the right given by the Charter, left Archpriest John in the service of the academy for another year as a supernumerary professor 5 . But even after leaving the spiritual and academic service, Archpriest John did not leave the academy itself: he was aware of all the affairs of his former colleagues, and members of the corporation often visited the hospitable home of Fr. John. By the 1920s Archpriest John was the most senior representative of the KDA corporation, and former colleagues called him the “academic patriarch” 6. And the responsibility that he felt as the bearer and custodian of the Kyiv spiritual - academic tradition prompted him to constantly “gather strength,” that is, pay attention to former colleagues scattered across various ministries in Kyiv, and to compile memorial articles dedicated to those who had already passed away from earthly life. "Evening of Life" Fr. John was associated with dramatic events in Kyiv church history. Holy - Vladimir Cathedral, to which Fr. John devoted 28 years of his life, in 1924 he was captured by the Renovationists (“Living Church”), and Fr. John with all the clergy moved to the Old Kyiv St. George Church. However, in 1926, this church was captured by the renovationists, and both clergy moved to the Small St. Sophia Cathedral, where there were “three clergy at the cathedral” 7 . However, even in these difficult years, Fr. John of the Church was awarded the last award: in April 1927, on Bright Week, by decree of the Exarch of Ukraine, Metropolitan Mikhail (Ermakov), the oldest minister of the Kyiv diocese was awarded the title of protopresbyter 8. Protopresbyter John died at the age of 82 on January 7/20, 1928, the day after Epiphany. As P.P. Kudryavtsev wrote to A.A. Dmitrievsky, “Ivan Nikolaevich’s death was quiet and serene. Until the last hours, even minutes of his life, he maintained clarity of consciousness, and Providence saved him from his death agony.” Of particular interest is the remark of the same author that on the holiday itself - the day before his death - Fr. John “dictated to his daughter and signed two letters, one almost to you.” And in fact, the last letter from Fr. John to his former colleague is dated January 6/19, 1928 (No. 37 in this publication). Since in the personal articles of recent years and introductory articles to past publications of documents related to the life and work of the famous Russian liturgist A. A. Dmitrievsky (03/11/1856–08/10/1929), the main milestones of his life’s path have been repeatedly reviewed, we refer the reader to these articles and publications 9 . Let us only note that the tragedy of 1917, which gradually destroyed the life of theological schools in the next decade, deprived almost all church scientists of the opportunity to engage in both educational and scientific work. However, A. A. Dmitrievsky still managed to continue working in his favorite field. This was partly due to circumstances, but most of all – Alexei Afanasyevich’s incredible efficiency, passion and dedication to his research, which surprised even his former colleagues who had known him for many years. These qualities allowed A. A. Dmitrievsky even in the harsh conditions of the 1920s. to build a hierarchy of values ​​in which the “only thing needed” was serving the Church through science, everything else was included in one way or another. Moreover, Dmitrievsky managed to resume his teaching activity in the field of liturgics, which he interrupted in 1907 and which he yearned for about 20 years. The last stage of the educational and liturgical ministry of A. A. Dmitrievsky was his participation in 1925–1928. in the activities of the Higher Theological Courses in Petrograd (Leningrad). It was there in December 1927 that the 45th anniversary of the great liturgist’s professorship since the beginning of teaching at KazDA in 1882 was celebrated. A. A. Dmitrievsky survived Protopresbyter John Korolkov by a year and a half; he reposed in the Lord on August 10, 1929 10 The surviving correspondence between Archpriest (Protopresbyter) John and A. A. Dmitrievsky covers the period from October 1904 to January 1928, but the vast majority of letters date back to 1924–1928. These letters are valuable evidence of a dramatic period in the history of the Russian Orthodox Church, theological education and science in Russia. The “Sorrowful Chronicle,” reflected in the published letters, testifies to the violent exhaustion of the theological and ecclesiastical forces of Russia. Only individual devotees of science managed to complete the scientific research they had begun at this time - A. A. Dmitrievsky was one of them. The published letters contain many facts important for the history of the Russian Orthodox Church, the history of Russian theological education and theological science. The published correspondence complements the already published letters of professors from Kyiv and Petrograd (Leningrad) in the post-revolutionary years 11 . Several main topics can be identified in the correspondence. First of all, of interest are attempts to preserve theological education under the Soviet regime: Higher Theological Courses in Leningrad and attempts to transfer this experience to Kyiv soil 12. Despite their short duration, these experiences not only testified to the desire of the church community for theological knowledge, but also made it possible, albeit in an extreme mode, to try out a new form of theological education, somewhat different from the usual ones. The “memorable” theme is important: academic corporations, dying and becoming the past, sought to capture for future generations the unique experience of the Russian theological school of the 19th – early 20th centuries, its best representatives, their problems and achievements. The theme of renovationism is extremely difficult: the atheistic government, trying to destroy the Russian Church from the inside, provoked a renovationist schism, in which, alas, some representatives of academic corporations were also involved. In the letters one cannot help but notice the bitterness of the betrayal of yesterday’s colleagues and the irony about the renovationists’ solution to “women’s” issues: “married bishops and bigamists are priests” 13 . However, this does not obscure the main thing - the statement of a convincing fact: “Orthodox churches are overcrowded, religious processions are taking place in the streets, the ringing does not stop all week,” while the “Living Church” is “angry, abandoned by the people even in the Kazan and St. Isaac’s Cathedrals, and in its organ it slanderes and insinuates everyone and everything, and does not hesitate to publish false documents” 14. Evidence of the undying interest in the history and practice of the Church is the discussion of liturgical issues in correspondence. Of course, Fr. John Korolkov was not a specialist - a liturgist in the scientific sense of the word, but many years of experience in pastoral ministry prompted him to turn to A. A. Dmitrievsky, “as a great expert in liturgical research,” for resolution of some questions 15. These discussions refute the frequent criticism that academic historical liturgy, in its scientific depth, departed from real church life and did not fulfill the main task of church theology: serving the Church in solving current issues and problems. Finally, the everyday outline present in the letters of both Protopresbyter John and A.A. Dmitrievsky is also important. The corporations of all four academies have been destroyed, most of their members have already passed away, and the rest are in poverty. However, this is not an inglorious end: physical dying and humiliation cannot obscure the main thing that the ascetics of science were able to do for church theology, and the grain of church pre-revolutionary science, being destroyed, must germinate on good soil and give new fruits “a hundredfold, sixty, thirty times” (Matthew 13:3). The published letters of Protopresbyter John Korolkov (until April 1927 - archpriest) to A. A. Dmitrievsky are contained in the latter’s personal archival collection in the Manuscripts Department of the Russian National Library (F. 253. Item 486). In total, this storage unit contains 28 letters from 1905–1928. with a total volume of 48 handwritten sheets. All letters are originals, autographs. Letters from A. A. Dmitrievsky were preserved in the personal collection of Protopresbyter (Archpriest) John Korolkov at the Institute of Manuscripts of the National Library. V. I. Vernadsky. A total of 9 letters from 1904–1928 have survived. with a total volume of 25 handwritten sheets (including some surviving envelopes), but for each letter a special storage unit was allocated (F. 162. Items 405–413). The archive code is given after each letter. All letters are published for the first time. Since the author's indication of the dates of writing letters has a variety, unification was carried out, and the publication of each of the letters is preceded by the corresponding date: date, month, year. These are not all the letters that A. A. Dmitrievsky sent to his former colleague at the academy, as their very content indicates: there are answers to questions from letters that have not survived. However, the surviving part of the correspondence is presented in chronological order. Almost all letters are dated, so in most cases their sequence is not in doubt. Only two letters from Fr. John Korolkov do not indicate the year, only the date and month. But their content allows us to determine the year: June 19/July 2, 1926 (No. 23 in this publication) and April 25/May 8, 1927 (No. 32). In the introductory article and notes to the letters, accepted abbreviations for the names of theological schools are used: SPbDA (PgDA) - St. Petersburg (Petrograd) Theological Academy, MDA - Moscow Theological Academy, KDA - Kiev Theological Academy, KazDA - Kazan Theological Academy, DS - theological seminary, DU - theological school, EZHU - diocesan women's school school. To compile the introductory article and comments, in addition to the above articles and publications of letters, articles from the publications were used: Orthodox Encyclopedia / Ed. Church - Scientific Center "Orthodox Encyclopedia". T.I–[ХLVI].М., 2000– [2017]; Biographical dictionary of graduates of the Kyiv Theological Academy: 1819–1920s. Materials from the collection of prof. Archpriest F.I. Titov and the KDA archive: in 3 volumes. T. 1, 2. Kyiv, 2014–2015; Kyiv Theological Academy in names. 1819–1924: in 2 volumes. Kyiv, 2015–2016; memorial articles and obituaries; articles from the PSTGU Electronic Database “New martyrs, confessors who suffered for Christ during the years of persecution of the Russian Orthodox Church in the 20th century.” Letters are published in modern spelling and punctuation with underlining preserved. Abbreviations of words are expanded in square brackets. The same type of brackets is used by the publisher to indicate the paleographic features of documents. Introductory article, publication and notes by N. Yu. Sukhova A. A. Dmitrievsky - Archpriest John Korolkov October 18, 1904 In Kiev, Fundukleevskaya, 3 16 Dear Ivan Nikolaevich! I hasten to answer your queries: · There is not a single Synaxarist in our library (Chet - They are not called Menaions), and it is best for you to confine your information on this matter to Moscow. · I do not have the synaxarist Dukaki, and he is not in the library 17. · Annus ecclesiasticus Martynova 18 we have under the sign As. 1428. · Lives of the Saints Michelle Marina is also Mr. 8 19. As for references for me, then, if this does not bother you, visit the Moscow Typographical Library again and, according to the sign from the mobile catalog (it is in the display case where the manuscripts are located), D.10. V.33 No. 95, look at the manuscript, the original for the Moscow printed edition of 1793, perhaps even the same one that you had at hand. From this manuscript I need to check the following inscription: “The Philokalia was translated from Hellenic Greek into the Slavic language at the seminary of the Holy Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius in 3 parts per sheet, printed on the sheet of the Holy Transfiguration Monastery of the Valaam Abbot Nazarius” 20. “Moscow stauropegic monastery, abbot Alexander. Confessor Hieromonk Filaret" 21. What do these underlined words mean? If they give you a manuscript from the mobile catalog and you share my bewilderment, then I ask you to compare two or three chapters of the manuscript with the printed edition of the “Philokalia” of 1793, already known to you, in order to see that these are two different editions or one and the same thing. I don't have any errors. Ask for the mobile catalog by the letter “D” (Philokalia or Diadoch) 22. The most pressing news is the death of Fr. Viceroy of the Bratsky Monastery, Fr. Antonia 23. We'll bury you tomorrow. The Metropolitan promises to come to the funeral service 24. At the request of the Eminence Rector 25 I must prepare a speech, but I don’t know whether I will have time 26? Here look for the reason that I am writing to you soon. D.I. Bogdashevsky celebrated his doctorate with a great supper. Popov K.D.'s review is not kind and is not similar to your reviews 27. The opening of the readings went well. The Metropolitan was pleased and promised to attend our Sunday readings again someday. We gave him some quick tea with fruit. As usual, there are a lot of people at the readings. However, there is no time to write, since I have to sit down to speak. On October 22 there will be a meeting of the historical society in memory of Alexander III, and I will read a speech “Which icon of the Kazan Mother of God do we celebrate on October 22” (about the Kazan sacrilege) 28 . I prove that the All-Russian cover is the Kazan miraculous icon, a copy of the one revealed, the deliverer of Russia in 1612, safe and sound, and is located in Moscow in the Kazan Cathedral (I bow to him). My employees are hitting you with their foreheads. N. M. Drozdov, who misses you, does the same 29. Dedicated to you A. Dmitrievsky. Published by: IR NBUV. F. 162. Unit. hr. 405. L. 1‒2 vol.

Together with Nikolai Stepanovich Grossu, I wrote to you about my life and existence. Now I won’t repeat that I am not completely healthy and it’s not without difficulty that I write this. With great interest I looked through your Τοπικά and found there a monthly book with the name Κλίμακα. Thanks to the kindness of Nikolai Stepanovich, I was the first to cut your book and would be very glad if you sent me a copy from Fr. Dositheus (not previously with me), as well as the 2nd issue of your memoirs about the East 45. All of us send you our deepest regards.

F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 6‒6 vol. It was with a feeling of lively joy that I received two of your letters, written in a handwriting that was familiar to me, but very different. The years make themselves felt in this regard, too, but your loving and benevolent heart still beats at the same pace as in the good, memorable days of a better time. May the Lord protect you for many years for the benefit of the Holy Mother Church and for the glory of the unforgettable and for me Kyiv Theological Academy, the 300th anniversary of which remained uncelebrated 46 and for the history of which, they write to me, you continue to work. Yes, you are one of the Mohicans of the Academy, and you have a large stock of memories of the past happy days of the glorious Kyiv Academy. With sadness I learned about the death of the unforgettable Anna Yakovlevna, whose warm hospitality I had the good fortune to enjoy more than once... Eternal memory to her. I realize that after almost 50 years of collaboration with her, you are now sad and hard, but, thank God, you are surrounded by the care of your dear daughters - Natalia Ivanovna and Olga Ivanovna. They say that Nina Ivanovna is also near you. I thank them all for their good memory and bows to me, and I reciprocate the same to them. In the circle of such lovely daughters and sons-in-law, you will not be alone and the evening of your life will be peaceful and calm. O. Archimandrite Dositheus, rest in peace. This is the ascetic and host of all those who among the clergy have to bear the cross of trials in prisoners and dungeons. With it I send you Τοπικά and 1 and 2 hours of Church celebrations in the East. Please accept with love. Bow to N. S. Gross and his wife. I express my complete sympathy for the uninvited guests in his apartment. Asking for your prayers, I remain invariably disposed towards you, A. Dmitrievsky. Published by: IR NBUV. F. 162. Unit. hr. 406. L. 4‒5 vol. Most dear and unforgettable for all of us, the people of Kiev, in particular for me and Fr. Nikolai Stefanovich, highly respected Alexey Afanasyevich! On behalf of myself and all your good friends, I offer you my heartfelt gratitude for your always interesting letter. I am writing to you urgently because I am very busy. I am writing mainly about the letter from N.P. Smirnov, who wants to give lectures to you 47. He has a bachelor brother in St. Petersburg, and he will probably move him in with him. Letter about. I hasten to send Smirnov to you. Now about your brochures. I have already written to you about your brochures that I have, which are being kept for you. There were brochures about the Trebnik and the Service Book, but now I can’t find them. Ambrose Semenovich, who took all the brochures and even leaflets from me to the former academic library, now agrees to leave your brochures for you. The analysis of my books donated to the library is slowing down due to cold weather (in the library + 1–2 o, and in the air up to –12) So, do not complain prematurely! What can be done, we’ll do it, and maybe I’ll even find 1 volume of Τοπικά. My library is in three places: in a former church house, in the Academy and in my new apartment. Do not reproach me for my work on my unforgettable professor F.A. Ternovsky, whose lectures I diligently recorded. I sincerely thank you for your memories. But I would kindly ask you to specifically outline your memories, which I could attach to my article. A. I. Sobolevsky 48 promised to send me his memoirs, which were delivered to me by some of his Kiev listeners. As for the description of my modest and, perhaps, not always successful activities, I compiled my autobiography at the invitation of the Academy Council through F. I. Titov (for the 300th anniversary of the Academy). For my part, I would very much like you to compose your autobiography. Your varied and multi-useful activities are much broader and more instructive than many of us, who work only on our “native” local soil! Maria Nikolaevna Bertenson is very interested in you. You, as always a gallant gentleman, visit her. Its address: Vasilyevsky Island, 6th line, No. 17. Recently Metropolitan Vvedensky (as if he were the rector of the Academy) read with us. About God, about Jesus Christ, about the soul (in the Orthodox spirit) 49. Don't you know him? They say that V.V. Latyshev died 50. Where is his family? What kind of family is the Petrograd Philological Institute? Who is the manager of his archive? We are interested to know! From our family, Fr. Nikolai Stepanovich and all your acquaintances and those who honor you, please accept a low bow. With deep respect, your admirer, Rev. I. Korolkov. Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 43‒44 vol. Venerable and all the people of Kiev, listeners of the Religious and Educational Society, highly respected, our dear colleague, Alexey Afanasyevich! And from myself, and from N. S. Grossu, and from our entire family, I cordially congratulate you on the upcoming (and already halfway through) 40th anniversary and on the upcoming day of your St. Angela, and strongly wishing you, in good health, to serve the Orthodox Church for many more years and for the benefit of theological science, for which you have been working with unflagging energy for so long. || I am deeply touched by your attention to my late wife, who always showed due diligence in receiving my good comrades at the Academy. I earnestly ask you not to forget her in your holy prayers. You, probably, are already aware that the Vladimir Cathedral passed (since last November) under the jurisdiction of the renovationist orientation and we, seven members of the clergy + one supernumerary, had to seek refuge in another church. And great thanks to the clergy of St. George’s Church for sheltering us, we serve there and carry out the services that come from our former parish. For 28 years we worked as hard as we could in the cathedral, where singing and serving (especially when your colleague Nikolai Stepanovich joined us) and preaching were at the highest possible height, and suddenly such a test befell us... Recently, for one work on the history of the Kyiv Academy, I again read the history of the Kazan Academy by P. V. Znamensky and was fascinated by the author’s rich, objective and skillful presentation 51 . Yes! The history of your Almae Matris is written as well and excitingly as any history of other Academies. You probably know which of the old professors of the Kazan Academy rested in the Lord? For example, Fr. prot. Alexander Vladimirsky, P.V. Znamensky, F.I. Kurganov and others 52 ? With the liberation from the Cathedral, I moved from the cathedral house to the apartment of my daughter Nonna Ivanovna and Fr. Alexander Vladimirovich Lobachevsky 53. In your last letter you wrote that you were sending me your latest (and wonderful) work - Τοπικά, vol. III (first half) 1917. But, upon opening the parcel, it turned out that instead of me you wrote on the book about. V. Prilutsky 54. Although Fr. Prilutsky at one time already received a copy from you, but he took a second copy, citing the fact that someone took the book from him and did not return it. If possible, if possible, send me your book, and perhaps by cash on delivery. However, at your discretion. I sincerely wish you to pass through Lent and reach the Holy Resurrection, with deep respect, Rev. I. Korolkov. Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 7‒8 vol. April 25, 1925 Leningrad. “Please bear witness to my greetings to your entire family who remembers me.” Dear Fr. Archpriest Ivan Nikolaevich, Christ is Risen! I bring you my heartfelt gratitude for your good memory and heartfelt congratulations on Angel’s Day. I mutually congratulate you on the upcoming Bright Holiday and the approaching holiday on the day of your Angel, so well remembered by all of us - your colleagues - for the wide hospitality that the ever-memorable Anna Yakovlevna offered us with the generous hand. May the Angel, its patron, protect you for many years for the good of the Holy Church and the history of the academy, in which you and I are the oldest figures. I rejoice that the captivity of the Vladimir Cathedral by rapists has stopped, and you and Nikolai Stepanovich (bow to him) again have “the right to rule the word of truth” 55 in a glorious and magnificent church. Our Leningrad, thank God, is religiously very interesting. Orthodox churches are overcrowded, religious processions are held in the streets, and the ringing does not stop all week. On Good Friday, Bishop Gregory, the viceroy of the Lavra, who was very popular in the city as a wonderful preacher, was released “pending trial,” a young man from Kazan 56 . Bishop Innocent (from Solovki?) 57 returned from exile, and with him several other archimandrites and hieromonks, zealous workers of the Church of Christ. The Living Church is angry, abandoned by the people even in the Kazan and St. Isaac's Cathedrals, and in its organ slanderes and insinuates against everyone and everything, does not hesitate to publish false documents and the spiritual testament of Patriarch Tikhon... It triumphs, having acquired in its turn Zarin, Belolikov 58 and your homilet 59... Rumors are flying that they are building forges against Skaballanovich... There was a strong pressure on me from Titlinov, Ave. Raevsky, the rector of the Institute of 60 of them, and Met. Arseny, they promised mountains of gold and all sorts of blessings in this life and the future, but I did not succumb to temptations. I agreed to work for the Ecumenical Council, but now I have precise information from Jerusalem that there will be no Council (this is the desire of the renovationists). In Jerusalem, Patriarch Damian was removed, and the former Ecumenical Patriarch Meletios, a progressive, was elected in his place. Our Jerusalem mission is in dire straits from the debts of Archimandrite Leonidas 61. The Russians are happy. Τοπικά came to you by mistake. I'll send it when available. I myself am doing a lot of critical work on the Euchology of Gohar and reading abstracts at the Academy of Sciences with great success about the Ritualist of Constantine the Porphyrogenitus. Published by: IR NBUV. F. 162. Unit. hr. 407. L. 6‒6 vol. On the letterhead of the Palestine Society. May 26/June 8, 1925 Holy Spirit Monday Alexey Afanasyevich, dearest, most beloved brother in the Lord, dear, unforgettable comrade, ever-memorable for all the people of Kiev! I bring you my deepest gratitude for your sweet, meaningful letter (dated April 25). With great excitement I read your kind memory of my unforgettable wife; do not forget her in your holy prayers. I conveyed the contents of your letter to His Eminence Vasily, who had great respect for your steadfastness: “here is an example of an old, convinced professor,” he said. Vladyka, as well as V.I. Ekzemplyarsky (blind), who lives next to him, as well as your other comrades and my family - the Lobachevskys, with whom I live, Natalia Ivanovna and Seryozha (doctor) - keep the warmest memories of you and convey heartfelt greetings to you. L.M. Gulyaeva recently asked me for your address and promised to write to you (not all of your friends know about your move to Leningrad). You congratulate me on Easter, and I congratulate you on Pentecost, which awakens in you, as a deep connoisseur of holy places, the brightest memories. Yesterday we celebrated quite solemnly in St. George's Church 62, where the rector was Fr. Korsakovsky 63. The clergy of this church received us very cordially; Many of our parishioners crossed over with us. We served Easter and other days there. From P.P. Kudryavtsev 64 (who sometimes visits me) I learned that you read a report on the Codex Sinaiticus, which I am studying. Would you be so kind and obliging to tell me your opinion about this code, its advantages and disadvantages? One dictionary says that K.P. Pobedonostsev wrote about the Codex Sinaiticus and Tischendorf. Is this true, and where is this article 65 located? Lately I have been reading a lot of histories of academies and with particular pleasure I read the history of the Kazan Academy by P. V. Znamensky. They write to me from Kazan that P.V. Znamensky, Yungerov, Ternovsky, both Gusevs, both Potekhins, Budrin, Bogorodsky, Kurganov have died; I don’t know if A. A. Nekrasov died 66. Can you tell me the year and, if possible, the day of death of these and other professors, so that I can add them to my martyrology. I have recently become close to the Kazan Academy thanks to the talented pen of Mr. Znamensky. In the Historical Note of S. A. Ternovsky 67 there is quite detailed information about your literary activity, so that you can compose your autobiography, which is so important for the Kyiv Academy. I don’t understand how F.I. Titov did not personally ask you to compile an autobiography, although through the Proceedings of the Kyiv Academy and other journals he made such a request to all students and those who served at the Academy 68. In conclusion, I'm with Nick. Art. Gross (bows deeply to you) we turn to you, as a great expert in liturgical studies, to resolve the following questions: · in modern Greek Missals, before the moment of transubstantiation of the Holy Gifts, there is no prayer “Lord, like Thy Most Holy Spirit...”; this prayer is not found in some Russian and Serbian Service Books (Your “Divine Service in the Russian Church in the 16th Century” 69 p. 424); where and when did this prayer pass into our Service Books? · in the Greek Missals at the Liturgy, at the Great Entrance they are remembered καἰ ἀνακαινιοτῶν τοῦ ἁγίου ναοῦ τούτου What can these words mean, little or completely unknown to our monuments? I donate my library not to the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, but to our Theological Academy. I have two volumes of your Συναξαριοτής…Νικοδήμον 70 . Would you allow them to be transferred on your behalf to the library of the Theological Academy? You have my book - Modern Greek Dictionary 71 (Dositheus, I think). If you do not need it, be kind enough to send it with your Τοπικά, for which I express my deep gratitude to you in advance. His Eminence Vasily, having learned from me about your diligent work on the study of Gohar and Constantine Porphyrogenitus, asked: how and why does Alexei Afanasyevich exist? Don't you really need daily food? I could not answer these sensitive questions. Sorry for being so frank. The Prakhov family, as well as the artist Vasnetsov, were deprived of their pensions 72. N. I. Sagarda and A. S. Krylovsky 73 serve in the library of the Academy of Sciences. They bow low to you. Once again expressing to you my deepest respect for your activities at the Kyiv Academy and in the Religious and Educational Society, I remain sincerely devoted to you, Honored Professor Rev. I. Korolkov. (Address me like this) Gogolevskaya, 2, apt. 4 (Archpriest A.V. Lobachevsky). Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 9‒10 vol. June 22, 1925 Leningrad Your Reverence, edito princers almae matris Kiioviensis Academiae, unforgettable and kind Ivan Nikolaevich, ζήοετε! 74 Thank you for your nice letter, which I will try to answer in all detail. First, I mourn that the rumor circulating in Leningrad that the Cathedral of St. Vladimir in the hands of Ivan Nikolaevich and Nikolai Stepanovich, was not confirmed. It's very unfortunate. Things are no better for us either. The other day, the best and most well-appointed city church of the Ascension was taken away from us. There are alarming rumors about the Lavra and the Cathedral “On the Blood”, but, by the grace of God, perhaps this misfortune will pass us sinners... Erected in the home of the former Religious and Educational Society, almost every Sunday Professor Titlinov, Rev. Boyarsky and Platonov conduct persistent polemics against the Orthodox clergy and the local hierarchy, in front of a large public gathering 75. The Orthodox clergy are called to the council, but our archpastors “at the council” issued a message - to stay away from communication with schismatics in every possible way. The council is scheduled for October. Titlinov, a professor, published a new book “Revolutionary Youth of Spiritual Educational Institutions” 76. The book also contains documents about the Kyiv Academy from the era of your inspectorate. There is also the story of F.A. Ternovsky. Recently I read a report on another recent book by the same professor Titlinov, “The Church in the Service of Autocracy” 77 . The book is tendentious from beginning to end and full of ignorant, hysterical illiteracy. More attractive are our peaceful studies at the Academy of Sciences on Ducange's dictionary under the chairmanship of F. I. Uspensky 78 . At the meetings of this commission I read three reports: 1) Ͳỏ Ͳαβλίον τῆς ἁγίας ἐν δυτῆς. The abstract, I can proudly say, delighted the sophists. I was able to publicly correct major textual errors in the latest edition of the Byzantine emperors in the Rite Book of Constantine Porphyrogenitus. Reiske, Lebedev, Belyaev 79 and others racked their brains and gnawed at their feathers, but could not come to terms with these lists. 2) Ό ᾅγιος φοῦρνος 80 – St. The cave of the 3 youths in a monument of the 11th century, hitherto unknown to science; 3) Ό μέγας δίοκος or pearl stone dish of St. Princess Olga, given by her to St. Sophia at her baptism. (Objection to articles on the same issue by D.V. Ainalov 81). I’ll consult with him about the same thing after the holidays. At home I am working on a biography of Gohar based on Italian letters placed at my disposal by N.P. Likhachev 82 . Wrote a large study “Which is better: the Church in union with the state or without it, or rather: when the Church stood closer to its ideal.” In Petrograd on St. Sunday The Fathers solemnly celebrated 1600 years since the First Ecumenical Council with a special prayer service, at which the opening psalm was “Blessed is the man”, the prokeimenon “Who is God great, even as God...” and the proverb “Wisdom has created for herself a house”, the apostle from the Acts of the Apostolic Council, the Gospel - the farewell prayer of the Savior, special litanies from the prayer service on Sunday Orthodoxy, eternal memory to Tsar Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and all the fathers who labored in the right faith and died, and lived for many years. In the evening we had a meeting at the Theological Courses. After the prayer service, 4 bishops made speeches: I - about the First Ecumenical Council and Archpriest Chepurin. 83 “What is conciliarity and who are its members.” || We live, oh. archpriest, and we live well, we don’t need anything. God and good people help, my needs are reduced to the minimum, I cook my own food, and am more successful in the culinary arts than my peers. The troparion “Lord, who is Thy Most Holy Spirit” was included in the Greek Euchologia in the 16th century, and from there it came to us in the Missals. Next to it in ancient times they read: “Blessed art thou, O Christ God,” “When tongues descended,” and “To the King of Heaven.” The Greeks no longer read it, and it was discarded in 1808 by Nikodim Svyatogorets. The commemoration of epitropes, parishioners, living and dead at the Great Entrance is constantly practiced by the Greeks, and the usual formula is “And may the Lord God remember you all in His Kingdom.” I cannot give the Synaxarist to Nicodemus as a gift, since I still have one volume in my hands. Keep it until the next holiday, and I will come to Kiev for it. Your [Dositheus] dictionary is alive and well, but I cannot return it to you. Your Hochlandia does not study Greek, but we are using this language, and we need a dictionary for reference. In the last report about Olga’s dish, I used it when explaining the word ἡ κουτελλα. My heartfelt greetings to your entire family, Lobachevsky, Fr. Gross and his wife, Ave. Vasily and all academics. On Thursday, July 24, I’m leaving for the Volga and going to Astrakhan for the summer. Your humble servant, A. Dmitrievsky. || [postscript]: In a report on the Codex Sinaiticus of the Bible IV-V centuries. I resist the Sinaiites, who demand its return, since little money was given for it.

Dear brother and tireless worker, most dear Alexey Afanasyevich! Your last, very informative, letter gave Nikolai Stepanovich and me great pleasure. It was with great joy that we read about your tireless work at the Academy of Sciences. Great honor and glory to you! May God grant you many more years to work for the benefit of our now decaying liturgical science. We will be very happy if you visit us on the way to Astrakhan and bring Titlinov’s books that you write about. Then, perhaps, you can tell me more about your essay on the Codex Sinaiticus, which I am interested in. If you bother, write, albeit briefly, about the meaning of those words at the Great Entrance of the Liturgy, which I wrote to you about. We have a misunderstanding regarding your trip. You write that you are leaving on Thursday, July 24 (according to the old style, July 11), but it will not be Thursday, but Friday. Or maybe you are leaving on June 24; then this letter will not find you in Leningrad. I am writing to you quickly. Sorry and again sorry for the brevity. I'm in a hurry on urgent library business. Please accept a low bow from our entire family, Nikolai Stepanovich and everyone who remembers you with love. Your deeply respected and heartily devoted Rev. I. Korolkov. Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 11‒11 vol. November 20, 1925 Leningrad Unforgettable and highly revered Archpriest Ivan Nikolaevich! Now I found in the mail your letter, which you sent to me in my absence from Leningrad (dated June 19/July 2) and which has not yet fallen into my hands. However, it was urgent and required a quick response. My readings in the Religious Educational Society are valued by both me and the readers as worth their weight in gold. I was forced to take away “The Service Book - a Mysterious Book” from my brother, and I don’t even have “The Lenten Triodion - a School of Piety” (about prayer and repentance) in my library 85 . Others simply wander and do not live at home. Therefore, what a blessing it would be if you kept me at least two or three copies of each reading. Alas, is it too late? I don’t even ask for expulsion, but I ask you to keep me, and I myself will appear, if God sends me healthy, to bow to you for your thrift (I, a great sinner, do not squander wisely) of this treasure. I am going to the Mother of Russian Cities no later than the coming summer 86. Regarding your vocabulary, I will say that you passionately desire to obtain it, perhaps in order to enrich your beloved “Ukrainian” library and reward “beginning” Byzantine scholars who show little hope in the near future 87 . Your worries are in vain, your vocabulary for Byzantine studies is useless. I wouldn’t have kept your vocabulary for a minute if it weren’t for the end of Gohar (the work is dragging on). Letters were found in Latin from Combefis 88, with which I am now occupied; I am about to begin the Nezhin acts and fraternal statutes written in modern Greek, for which your vocabulary is very useful. I once published these acts in the “Proceedings of the Academy” 89, but, by the grace of N.I. Petrov, and the reluctance of Bishop Sylvester 90, they were thrown out of the magazine. We have to eliminate old sins. Therefore, I ask you to forgive me for my disobedience. You kept my Synaxarium 2 parts for a long time, let me repay the same. I don’t remember your question about the Great Entrance, but it seems the question concerns whether it is possible to remember the living and the dead at the Great Entrance. The Greeks remember, but their custom is complex: “May the Lord God remember you all.” When approaching the bishop's throne, they commemorate “Your Hierarchy.” Forgive me if I preach something other than what you expected. Congratulate us. We opened the Academy on October 1 under the name “Higher Theological Courses.” Three-year courses for persons of both sexes with secondary education, without any examination, and the degree examination has also been abolished; There were 68 students, most of them women, many priests from the dioceses of Leningrad, Novgorod and Nizhny Novgorod entered and retained their parishes. They live in parishes for three weeks and listen to lectures for a week. Academy professors who received St. Petersburg government positions refused to give lectures at the courses (Brilliantov, Mirtov, Sokolov) 91 . We are in dire need of a New Testament Scripture professor. Is there such a thing in Kyiv? A canonist is needed for next year. Of the professors, three are: me, Petrovsky and Andreev, a former university professor 92, and the rest are priests, of whom two are from Kiev: Fr. Vitaly Lebedev on moral theology and Fr. Mikhail Mitrotsky on dogmatics 93. The latter submitted an essay for a master's degree, which was given for reading to Popov, a professor at the Moscow Theological Academy. Pastoral courses are being transformed. The project was proposed by Bishop Gregory 94, expressing the desire that theoretical theological sciences be taught in one year, and the second would be specifically practical and pastoral, even with assignments to local parish churches. A commission has been formed, but what will come out is unknown. The problem with our courses is lack of money. Out of 99 Orthodox communities (the Living Church has only 33 communities), only 55 communities responded, but their members are reluctant to shell out money for courses, preferring to spend thousands on expensive choirs. The living Church looks sad after the Council 95. The witty Bishop Antonin 96 called the cathedral “a March cat under the Soviet roof,” because “women’s” issues were being resolved: married bishops and bigamous priests – and that’s all. But they do not lose heart. They took away the Lavra, leaving only the Isidore Church and the beautiful Ascension Church for the monks. Recently, Archpriest Platonov and his wife were elevated to the episcopate and they dream of placing him in the metropolis instead of Veniamin, 97 whom, although they honored with two panagias and the presentation of a lamp, they are not averse to removing him for retirement. As before, their churches are empty, and only Platonov has enormous success. Our clergy is suffering: 150 presbyters without places and with a plate at the threshold begging for alms, Bishop of Sestroretsk Nikolai 98 and Fr. Alexander Paklyar, head of courses 99, was arrested. Bow to your family and the family of Fr. Nikolai Grossu and others. Now November 22/December 4 from the All-Night Vigil from the Lavra - memory of St. Alexander Nevsky. I went to Living Church 100. All the lamps are burning, the singers are singing, and at the threshold there are 6-7 people just as curious as me. In Isidorovskaya and Feodorovskaya we are full of people and a solemn service is underway. What will happen tomorrow? Published by: IR NBUV. F. 162. Unit. hr. 409. L. 9‒10 vol. On the letterhead of the Chairman of the Society for the Revival of Artistic Russia. Dear and unforgettable for everyone who remembers you, Alexey Afanasyevich! I sincerely thank you for your always interesting letter, information from which I shared with people close to you and N.I. Sagarda. Everyone bows low to you and is amazed at your tireless scientific activity. My letter to you is obviously lying around somewhere, and my questions remain unanswered. First of all, I asked you to bow in Astrakhan to my dear friend and comrade N. G. Palmov and his son - how are they doing and what is their address? About your brochures: You're almost too late. I had several copies of them; I handed them all over to the academic library, which stands motionless in its place, thanks to the Academy of Sciences. In the summer I donated my library (about 60 poods) to the library of our (and not the Ukrainian) Academy. Ambrose Semyonovich, who loved books dearly, took from me not only all the brochures, of which I had many, but also sheets of paper called “pure diamonds.” The other day I asked Ambrose Semenovich not to include your brochures in the academic catalog without my knowledge. Yesterday, my dear grandson Shura Nefedov (orphan: Pray for the youth Alexander - he is my zealous assistant and an expert in my library) found among my books your brochure “Disadvantages of modern church-religious education” 101, which I will save for you, as well as brochures: “Week of Orthodoxy”, “Feast of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem”, “Sanctification of the World”, "Grace of St. Fire", "Washing of Feet", "Good Friday" 102. It seems that you don’t need these brochures (published by the Palestine Society), but please notify me. I'll keep it for now. I earnestly ask you to save Τοπικά and A.A. for me. Olesnitsky “Archaeology of Keil” 103. I am diligently collecting materials for the biography of F. A. Ternovsky 104. Please, send me your memories of Philip Alekseevich, his home life, educational activities, death, burial, speeches delivered at the burial (By whom? Who buried?). Philip Alekseevich edited the book “Acts of the Russian on St. Athos Monastery" (K., 1873). Looking through this book, I was surprised by the mass of notes that apparently belonged to Fr. Azariah 105. But who is this o. Azarius (Russian?), where he received his education and how long ago in the monastery of St. Panteleimon? What kind of library is there in this monastery? Are there magazines - “Creations of the Holy Fathers”, “Orthodox Interlocutor”, “Russian Time Book”, “Readings in the Society of History and Antiquities”, “Notes of a Devotee of St. Mountains”, “Geography” by Ptolemy (in French), Sakharov’s “Travel of Russian People”, Solovyov’s “History of Russia”, “Spiritual Conversation”, “Christian Reading”, Pavlov’s “Nomocanon”, “Time Book of the Society of History and Antiquities”, Razumovsky’s “Church Songs”, Archimandrite. Macarius “Description of the Antiquities of Novgorod”, “The Word of Philaletus on the Antichrist”, Nevostruev, Prozorov, “Christian Antiquities”, “Acts of the Archaeographic Commission”, etc. Could all these books really be in the library of the Athonite Panteleimon Monastery? Did F. A. Ternovsky take part in compiling the notes? Please provide your enlightened opinion. Regarding your department, according to the Holy Scriptures of the New Testament, I wrote to N.N. Glubokovsky (December 6; maybe he will want to return to you) 106. I will inform Professor N.P. Smirnov, who is restless, as they say, with nothing to do... Another question for you: how to more correctly translate the words “daily bread” in the Lord’s Prayer? – (τὸν ἂρτον… ἐπιούοιον translated from the words εἰμί and εἴμι). I asked you to explain to us the words of the Divine Liturgy at the Great Entrance (the words are on a separate note). Thank God, I feel good. We serve in St. George's Church; I served on December 4 and 6 (the day of the Angel N. S. Gross). There can be a lot of people, but the Vladimir Cathedral is empty; the cathedral is not heated or illuminated by electricity, but by lamps. I have a lot of free time, I read and write down what I read. Thanks be to God for everything. I live with my daughter Nonna Ivanovna and Fr. prot. Alex. Vladim. Lobachevsky, quiet and calm. Please accept a low bow from them and Natalia Ivanovna. With always deep respect, your zealous admirer Rev. I. Korolkov. Are 150 priests standing at the church gates begging for alms? It's terribly hard. Do you know that O.I. Lashkareva died a year ago 107? || [postscript]: Our great joy: on St. Nicholas was released from prison by the governor of the Kiev diocese, Bishop Macarius, who had been imprisoned for 11 months 108.

Unit. hr. 486. L. 12‒14. Dear and unforgettable Alexey Afanasyevich! Having not received a response from you to our joint letter with N.P. Smirnov, I am writing to you “urgently” and asking you to respond to 1 point without delay. While sorting out my library when handing it over to our academic library, that is, to A. S. Krylovsky (and not to the Ukrainian one, as you think), I found a very valuable book, Caendar. Constantinople. Vol.1, 2 109. As far as I remember, I did not buy such a book, and it seems that I took it from you. Please let me know if I can lend this book to the academic library? Do you need it for your tireless academic studies? One of these days a lady is going to Petrograd, and I could send you the book if it is yours. || With particular pleasure I read your book “Russians on Athos” 110, written artistically and with great knowledge. Having read it, I crossed myself, Fr. He sang “eternal memory” to Macarius, and wished the author Eὶς πολλά 111! You have letters from F.A. Ternovsky; Could you please transfer them to our Academic Library, and in the meantime, briefly tell me their contents? The other day, Metropolitan Innokenty (Pustynsky) declared at the cathedral that there would be an Ecumenical Council on Mount Athos 112. Is this true? I also read with interest your other book about S.I. Ponomarev, who was biased towards Kolosov and Lebedintsev 113. The characteristics should be applied in reverse. At the same time, Kolosov is not from Kostroma, but he will believe it now. Do you know for what years Kolosov (i.e. F.A. Ternovsky) edited the Kiev Diocesan Gazette? Ponomarev mentions Fr. Kapralov. Our Kyiv prot. Kapralov is interested in knowing who and where his namesake comes from and why he ended up in Jerusalem 114? I’m gradually finding your brochures and maybe I’ll send them. You mention the Greek dictionary about. Innocent 115. What kind of dictionary is this? It seems that this is an Odessa publication, which, as far as I remember, has no scientific significance. We serve in St. George's Church, we and the parishioners are happy that we have the opportunity to pray. I received a notification from the Chersonesos monastery that there was no security there; churches are closed, bells are blown up; the roof of the cathedral church is stolen at night; and what is being done with the famous excavations is difficult to imagine. Talk about this at the Academy of Sciences and with archaeologists in general; You should pay attention to this famous monument to the Baptism of St. Vladimir. Your Eminence Vasily, N. S. Grossu and his family, Skaballanovich (who was with me yesterday) and the academic brethren, as well as my family, send you a low bow. I am writing to you quickly to give you the opportunity to respond as quickly as possible. With deep respect, Rev. I. Korolkov Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 16‒17 vol. February 25/March 10, 1926 Two days ago, dear Alexei Afanasyevich, I sent you a letter, and with it your brochures, which were found at my home. Along with the brochures, I intended to send you the Monthly Book of Constantinople without submitting it to the academic library. That is why I asked you to respond “urgently” only on this issue, not daring to bother you with a letter serving as a response to my two letters. If you had understood this way (without emphasizing the word “urgently” in some sense), you would have answered frankly that this is your book, then you would have received it. Now wait until another time. Nikolai Pavlovich 116 is unlikely to come to see you soon, but if he goes, I will send you some books too. Your letter was received today. Please forgive me generously for my writing. Greetings to you from our family (Maria Ivanovna – in Poltava). I sincerely thank you for your detailed letter, which cost you so much effort. Your always admirer, Rev. I. Korolkov. Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 15‒15 vol. Postcard. March 2, 1926 Leningrad. Dear and kind Ivan Nikolaevich! Jupiter, you are angry, but you are wrong, and therefore you do not have a kid on the altar 117. You wrote urgently, and I am responding urgently, as much as time and my circumstances allow. There is neither Nonna Ivanovna, nor Maria Ivanovna, nor Natalia Ivanovna near me (she, however, is a public figure), 118 and therefore on Mondays I go to the market, buy provisions, set up a primus stove, chop meat, cabbage, greens, wash it all and prepare borscht for myself for the week, in due time I make sure that onions, salt, and pepper, and bay leaf, and several potatoes and a tomato. The time spent on this exercise is from 12 noon to 4-5, I have lunch and go to rest. In the evening I write responses to the accumulated letters. On Tuesday I cook porridge for 4-5 days, and if I have time, I go to the public library. In the evening I finish correspondence and prepare abstracts. Wednesday and Thursday, due to my blindness, I prepare for lectures, since I cannot read, but must take everything by memory. On Thursday from 10 1/2 to 6 1/2 pm lectures. Friday morning in the library, and from 8 1/2 at lecture. On Saturday in the bathhouse or in the library. Sunday – rest and church. I don’t mention the daily reheating of the borscht cooked on Monday, or the most boring work - washing dishes, sweeping the floors. Attending meetings at the Academy of Sciences in the commissions of Ducange, Slavic (former Slavic society), history and art (former Count Sheremetyev), at the Academy of Material Culture (Byzantine - Russian treaties), on courses. Add to all this emergency reports: I just read a big report on Gohar at the Academy on Thursday, the second one, and the first was last month. This is pro domo sua 119. Now about Nikolai Petrovich. Having received your urgent letter, I, as far as it was possible for me, living near the Lavra, to see the rector of the courses, Nikolai Kirillovich Chukov, 120, who lives on the corner of Morskaya and Nevsky (the distance is not small). The rector brought the issue up for discussion at an emergency meeting, which took place last Friday and decided to consider Nikolai Petrovich as a candidate, but this year, due to full hours and the end of the year in the near future, not to introduce a new subject... They even talked about the possibility of placing Nikolai Petrovich in a parish near Petrograd. My report on Gohar at the Academy was scheduled for four, and I sat on it from 4 to 6 o'clock in the morning, with the urgent responsibilities mentioned above, postponing the answer until Monday - the first free evening, in which, however, they first asked to attend a meeting of the Pastoral School 121. It seems that it is no longer possible to answer you more urgently than this. Therefore, put your anger on mercy and remember me in your holy prayers, so that you can painlessly bear your heavy cross in old age. Having received 16 rubles from both courses for December, and even 13 rubles for January, I had to live on this money for three whole months until this day, February 2. Sapienti sat! 122. I am replying to the previous letter. Now our 4th ruler is being tried, and how the case will end is unknown. But the Lord cares for His Church and sent us the fifth bishop, from among the widowed archpriests, a wonderful man from the Intercession, Fr. Dimitri Lyubimov, son of the famous Oranienburg archpriest 123. V.V. Latyshev died of dropsy in 1920. His wife lives with their son in Petrograd and is in need of funds. She sells the library of the late Academy of Sciences. Given the above, you can now judge that I have a lot of time to write my memoirs, but I don’t want to write an autobiography. In my memoirs I will say everything to my liking, but in my autobiography I will probably either keep something quiet or convey it subjectively. I think that you, who have leisure and in a happy environment, cannot limit yourself only to your autobiography, but must certainly compile your memories. I do not undertake to write memoirs about F.A. Ternovsky, since I do not have time for this, and for three years now I have had a serious scientific work on my hands about Gohar, which science is waiting for. I also don’t have letters from F.A. Ternovsky, since I never corresponded with him. There are letters from Fr. Azaria and in large numbers, and in them there is something about his correspondence with F.A. Edited by F.A. for Kolosov in the late 70s. Thank you for your kind words about Fr. Macarius. He was a wonderful old man and perspicacious. I wrote the book with tears. To characterize o. Azaria, read my brochure “Russian nugget on Mount Athos” 124 - this is a student of Fr. Azariah. Thank you for the brochures. The book “Constantinopolis” is mine and I need it. Look for my second volume of the Synaxarist Nicodemus and the Constantinople Synaxarist Gideon 125. They took it when you were interested in Climacus. If you can send it, I’ll be grateful, but if you can’t, leave it until the summer. Perhaps I will come for them myself. Look for tel. 1 Τοπικά. Very necessary! They write from Jerusalem that the Mission's affairs are in poor condition. In Karlovtsy at the end of February there will be a council of our foreign clergy, and on Trinity Sunday there will be a special (but not Ecumenical) council on Mount Athos on church issues. The Patriarch of Jerusalem sends out appeals to the Russian people, who is Peretyatkovich? Bow to all of you and Gross. Your humble servant, A. Dmitrievsky. || Today at F.I. Uspensky’s (Theodore Tiron) I met with Natalya Andrianovna, the wife of V.V. Latyshev, who thanks you for the memory, says that she lives poorly and envies V.V. Latyshev’s lot. Her address: Mokhovaya, 12. She lives with her son, an employee of the mint. On Sunday, February 15, an interesting incident from modern church life took place - Sobolev, the former mitered rector of the Izmailovsky Trinity Cathedral, who was elevated to the rank of bishop by the bishops of the Living Church, died. Before his death, he invited the Orthodox Bishop Sergius, the former rector of the Sergius St. Petersburg Hermitage, repented and accepted the Holy Mysteries. Until his death he received 20 rubles from the Living Church. benefits monthly. The question arose: what order should I bury? They turned to the local ruler, and a resolution followed: “The burial should be carried out according to the rank for the laity.” Dressed in bishop's robes by his relatives and friends, Fr. Sobolev was deprived of his miter, Gospel and cross, and the bishop's robes were covered to the neck with linen, and he was inveterate like a layman. This fact made a depressing impression on clergy and laity...; his face was under the air. Please look for Τοπικά, Holy and Easter Week of the 9th-10th century. I am surprisingly unhappy with my students, whom I carried on my shoulders. Palmov turned out to be a positive scoundrel. Prilutsky is an ignoramus... And here is an excerpt from a letter from my friend, with whom I sent books to Tiflis, Fr. Kekelidze 126: “A typical Georgian, although blond, reads Georgian literature. The look is deeply civilian, and I would say skeptical. He has not served for a long time and does not wear a cassock. When asked about his previous career, he chuckled very lightly: he had not been for a long time and was touched, but did not invite him to come again. Apparently my questions confused him. A luxurious apartment, carpets, paintings (among them divine), telephone, etc. When asked whether his knowledge was used, he chuckled again and did not give an answer. This is how the promising assumptions from the expected acquaintance ended. Namely, the history of Georgia leaves much to be desired.” I just don’t want to believe that this is the strange, handsome Cornelius Sampsonovich, my blessed son. This is how life cripples people. And he didn’t answer even one of my messages with a single line. The Byzantine Temporary is being published after the break and will be published one book a year. Lots of interesting and new things. Our rulers are expelled, and the fourth day is the sixth day in court. Conducts himself with complete dignity. The Lavra archimandrites recommend themselves very poorly. The harsh winter has subsided. It's warmer today. Published by: IR NBUV. F. 162. Unit. hr. 410. L. 12‒15 February 23/March 8, 1926 Honorable Alexey Afanasyevich, who worked a lot for the Kiev Religious and Educational Society! Knowing how precious your brochures are to you now, I am sending you which ones ended up at home. Maybe there will be something else in the Academic Library, but Ambrosy Semenovich complains that it is cold in his library (2 degrees), and he does not find it possible to do (besides the obligatory work in the library, where he is only twice a week) analyzing my library. I sent you two registered letters, and Fr. Nikolai Stepanovich, we are surprised that there is no greeting or answer from you. Maybe you are very busy or not entirely healthy? In case of lack of time, at least please us with postcards, as M. N. Bertenson does (Did she have? Her phone number: 103–70. Around 3 o’clock in the afternoon she is at home). In view of the upcoming Forgiveness Day, I ask you to generously forgive me for my annoying writing. Greetings from your family - Fr. Alexander and Nonna Ivanovna Lobachevsky, Natalia Ivanovna and Nikolai Stepanovich with their family and everyone who remembers you. I am writing to you quickly and urgently. Don't charge me for your handwriting. S.I. Ponomarev also wrote illegibly. I deeply honor you, Rev. I. Korolkov. Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 18‒18 vol. Honorable and dear to all Kiev residents who remember you, Alexey Afanasyevich! And from myself, and from my family (Fr. Lobachevsky, N.I. Rybinskaya, etc.) and from the family of Fr. prot. To N. S. Gross and everyone who remembers you with gratitude, I offer you my most heartfelt greetings on your St. Day. Angela, regularly wishing you many, many more years to work for the benefit of science, to which you selflessly and tirelessly devote your strength. Lately I have not been entirely healthy and cannot answer your extensive, always interesting letter. Moreover, N.P. Smirnov, about whom you fussed so much, has not been with me for a long time... It seems that he is not going to see you now... I ask for your holy prayers, Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 20‒20 vol. April 22, 1926 Leningrad Dear veteran and Mohican of the KDA and kind Ivan Nikolaevich! Happy New Year. I wish you and all your household members good health for many years to come, who surround you with touching care and cherish you as a precious relic of a distant, happy past that has irrevocably passed into eternity. I envy you that you have still preserved your beady handwriting, barely perceptible even with a magnifying glass. I overcome your interesting letters with great difficulty with my bad eyes. Your last letter is filled with such a mass of questions of the most diverse nature that if I began to answer all of them, I would not have enough time to tell the story. I'll start with the most important. For fulfilling the request - to find us a teacher of the New Testament - heartfelt thanks. This is pure “gold”, but with our modern “poverty” we cannot even take it into our hands. O. Smirnov, due to his “gravity towards science,” decides to exchange Kyiv for Leningrad, but he has a very heavy “baggage” - a family of 5 people. He has a meager income that “feeds” his family and him. This is already something that makes us think: what can we offer him and his family? He cannot find a job at any church, since there are over 100 of their unemployed pastors and some of them feed on alms, standing at the threshold of the church with the beggars (of course, there are not a hundred or 150 of them!) The courses are paid by the lesson: 3 rubles per hour. at Theological courses and 2 rubles. on Pastirskie. If o. Smirnov will take 4 hours in theological courses and 2 lessons in pastoral courses, then his earnings per month under favorable circumstances (i.e. there will be no feasts of the Twelves, great saints and civil ones, and we do not give lectures even on their eves), then his earnings will amount to 64 rubles. but this well-being may last for two or three months. If we take the Christmas holidays - civil and our Orthodox - the 1st and 7th weeks of Lent and Easter week, then this well-being disappears like smoke in the wind. For December I received 16 rubles, but for January I will receive only 9 rubles, so celebrate Maslenitsa! But this is still not a problem, but the problem is: we are always under fear. The Zhivotserkov members cannot stand us and threaten to close us. What will Fr. do? Smirnov in this case? Whether he is alone or together, you can somehow turn around, and the “application” will squeak and scream... O. Smirnov expresses a desire to come for the semester if we guarantee him a trip there and back. Alas, we are so poor that for the holidays I was the only one who was paid 16 rubles, and all the teachers-priests were left without a salary. On the first day of Christmas there was a collection in the city’s churches, but we’ll pay with what he gives. The established monthly collection from churches is extremely poor. Twenties willingly throw thousands at choirs and spare 5 rubles. per month for courses. Can we think about registering for the semester Fr. Smirnova, from Kazan Nesmelov 127 and others. This is still a dream and, obviously, not in the near future. Therefore, we desperately need a teacher of the New Testament, but we need him not to be bound by the “rumor of worldly cares” and to come to us for now, as a feat and selflessly. The situation in the diocese here is extremely difficult. Our three bishops are already “prisoned” and the fate of the fourth and last is in the balance - he is awaiting trial. The living Church continues this evil work persistently and systematically. Now the second point is about Professor F.A. Ternovsky. You are writing a memoir about him and asking me to tell you everything I know about him. The work is downright backbreaking. But before answering on the merits, let me express one sincere wish to you. Wouldn’t it be better for you to write not about F.A. Ternovsky, but your memories of the life you lived, which F.A. will enter as a unit? You would give your historians rich material for the history of the academy. The oldest professor, inspector for many years - and close to the editors of the journal TKDA 128 and, finally, the archpriest of the Vladimir Cathedral - this is such a complex and varied path, on which many wonderful things happened and met the most diverse people. Yes, there is a lot to tell in this “book of Genesis”. And F.A. Ternovsky - he asks you the problem from the first sheet of paper. Who is Elder Azarius!? This is a great old man, about whom there is a lot in my book “Russians on Athos”. This is a Vyatka seminarian, a teacher of Greek at the Dalmatovsky School. But carried away by Elder Seraphim of Svyatogorets, monk of the Panteleimon Monastery, secretary and collar of the monastery, author of the books “The Upper Veil”, “Panteleimon’s Process”, “Life of St. Panteleimon”, Patericon 129, etc. Correspondent of Greek Athonite and Constantinople newspapers, French and Russian, contributor to certain spiritual poems, magazines (anonymous), excellent expert on Greek printing and living language, founder of the monastic rich library, which can compete with the best Athonite libraries of the monasteries of Vatopedi and Lavra, in terms of the number of manuscripts and the richness and variety of books it cannot be inferior academic library. Don't doubt the variety of his quotes. He undoubtedly began publishing the acts of the Panteleimon Monastery, but due to lack of time he gave in to both Archimandrite Kapustin Antonin and F.A. Ternovsky. This publication was necessarily compiled from polemical and historical quotations. I found F.A. Ternovsky in 1884, already retired. He continued to lecture only at the university. His means were meager, and he suffered many hardships, but he endured them complacently and never even raised his voice against the Academy and the spiritual authorities who unfairly fired him. He devoted all his time to scientific studies in his office, rarely breaking away to joke with small children (he knew how to talk excellently with children and told them funny and witty fairy tales), to exchange two or three words with the old woman - Mother N.T., or to talk with the few acquaintances who came to see him, among whom S.T. visited him relatively more often than others. Golubev, I, F. Ya. Fortinsky, T. D. Florinsky and his old acquaintance - deaf S. Ponomarev - librarian 130. As an interlocutor, F.A. was simply inimitable: jokes and wit never left his tongue, and he was inexhaustible. In my correspondence with S.I. Ponomarev there are examples of these playful conversations, which sometimes even led to a quarrel between friends. But underneath the apparent complacency and calm lay deep sorrow and disappointment. Before the eyes of his friends, F.A. melted and soon became seriously ill with a gigantic sore throat. He died in my arms and I closed his eyes, and before his death, when his hands began to grow numb, he asked me to warm them. He was buried modestly in the university church. The funeral service was held by Fr. rector of the church and professor of theology 131. The coffin was carried out of the church into the assembly hall - and here speeches were delivered in his honor by Fortinsky and Florinsky. He and his wife were buried on Shchekovitsa. The academy did not express much sympathy for the deceased. I don't think you'd expect anything more from me. In general, I knew F.A. for little time. I arrived in Kyiv on March 17, 1884, and he died almost that same year in the fall. You are asking about the icons of St. Nicholas in Bari and is there a Russian priest there? A question worthy of surprise. How did the news disappear from the field of your brilliant memory, both in newspapers and magazines, that back in 1914 in Bari a plot of land was acquired by the Palestine Society and on it beautiful buildings were erected for Russian pilgrims to the relics of St. Nicholas, and a small but very elegant church in the Russian style was erected, which remains to this day without an iconostasis and consecration (Fig. see “Messages of the Palestinian Society” 1913‒1914). A temporary church was built next to this church and your fellow countryman V.N. Icons consecrated on the relics of St. Nicholas, I have some from this priest, and I can supply those who wish. I did not write about the Palmovs from Astrakhan due to lack of space in the letter. Father and son are healthy and live together (address: Parobichev Hill, near the Tikhvin Church of Astrakhan). The archpriest is red-faced and as cheerful as a May cucumber. The son, whom I consider it a shame to date, looks like a morel and a gray-haired old man. He was completely numb. He is in charge of the Kalmyk archive and gives lectures on art at the Pedagogical College. Prints the history of the Kalmyk people under the motto “workers of all countries, unite.” Now he is writing the history of the Khazars for the Kalmyks, and, according to F.I. Uspensky, with whom he corresponds, not without success. He always knew how to furnish excellently, and lives at the Kalmyk expense as a khan. He turned out to be a complete scoundrel towards me, and I’m not dating him... Alas, the brochures have disappeared, and such a pity!.. They pester me with requests. Thank you o. Smirnov: he sent a brochure about fasting. Do you have an extra copy of Τοπικά vol. 1? Now they are asking me from the Vatican, but I have one copy myself! Bow to all of you and especially! – to the reader Your admirer A. Dmitrievsky. || Bow to Fr. Gross and his wife and Fr. Smirnov. PS: Please don’t scold me for writing on old forms: it’s very good paper, you won’t find anything like it on the market anymore. Yesterday I read an essay about Gohar at the academy and will continue it at the next meeting. Our frosts are 27 degrees or more. Published by: IR NBUV. F. 162. Unit. hr. 411. L. 16‒19 vol. On the letterhead of the Society for the Revival of Artistic Russia. Honorable and dear to us - the people of Kiev - Alexey Afanasyevich! Having not heard from you for so long, I'm confused, what does this mean? Are you offended by my letters? Forgive me, for God's sake, if I unintentionally upset you. By March 17, I sent you a letter. But the holidays have already passed - Easter and the 50th, and we do not hear from you. I sent you a letter and brochures with Olga Danilovna, but did not receive a response from you. Thank you for receiving her very kindly, and she was very pleased with your reception and conveyed greetings to me from you. V. N. Peretz 132, who was staying in Kyiv and visiting me, also spoke highly of you, and A. I. Sobolevsky, who recently wrote to me, reported the latest news about you. But all this is not the same: your old admirer would like to have some news from you personally (at least on a postcard). You wrote to P.P. Kudryavtsev that you were going to come to Kyiv, but for us (I mean Nikolai Stefanovich) it would be interesting to know the time of your arrival. Today I talked about you with Nikolai Stepanovich and Yulia Efimovna, and they instructed me to tell you that you should come to them from the station; they hope to accommodate you with their dear soul. Yesterday in the library of the Academy of Sciences I talked with Ambrose Semyonovich, who bows to you very much. I will tell you (in confidence) that he wants to talk with you regarding Gohar, who he finds inconvenient to ask for his return through the Academy administration. Maybe you will bring it to Kiev yourself? Ambrose Semyonovich promised to look for you among my books handed over to him for 1 volume of Τοπικά. Please, please bring me the last volume of Τοπικα, as well as “Archaeology” by A. A. Olesnitsky 133 (for the library). I also have your brochures for Holy Week (in Palestine), but I did not send them to you because they were included in your publication describing the Palestinian festivities. Meanwhile, my eldest daughter, a big fan of such brochures, really asks me to give her one; but I don’t dare give it to her without your permission. What should I tell you about myself? We are getting old and weaker (in the words of N. N. Glubokovsky in his holiday card); We ask for your holy prayers. We were again faced with God's test: St. George's Church, where our clergyman served, was sealed for transfer to the “renovationists.” We celebrated the 50th anniversary in St. Sophia Cathedral (small). There is a rumor that both the cathedral and the Church of the Tithes will also be taken away from the Slavs. Then you will have to migrate to Podol. May the Lord and the Mother of God protect us from such a test! Your Eminence Vasily, as well as Nikolai Stepanovich and his wife, my family and all your colleagues send you a low bow. We are all looking forward to your arrival with us. With everlasting, deep respect, sincerely respecting you, Rev. I. Korolkov Don't ask me, I'm enclosing stamps for your reply. You can write not by registered letter. When you meet, say hello to V.N. Peretz, P.V. Slarmanovsky, Brilliantov, Beneshevich, and others who remember me. What is Beneshevich's address? Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 21‒22 vol. Protopresbyter John Korolkov - A. A. Dmitrievsky Dear and unforgettable for the people of Kiev, Alexey Afanasyevich! I am urgently writing to you the 3rd appendix to my registered letter. While sorting out my library for transfer to the library of the former Theological Academy, I found several copies of your readings in the Religious and Educational Society (about the Trebnik, the Service Book, etc.). Would you please tell me to leave two or three copies for you, in view of the fact that the library of the former Theological Academy probably contains your readings. Notify me immediately if this letter finds you in Leningrad. Nikolai Stepanovich and I are interested in Titlinov’s books, which you are reporting on. Is it possible to send us these books? Do you know the book by Professor Ordynsky 134 (Kazan) “Comparison of the grammar of the common modern Greek language with the grammar of the ancient Greek language” (Kazan, 1858) (from the third book of “Scientific Notes” of 1858) How do you find it? When you are in Astrakhan, bow to the Palmovs - father and son. Please let them write to me at the address: Gogolevskaya, 2, apt. 4. I haven’t known anything about them for a long time. Kievans are resting: His Eminence Vasily at the station. Bucha, with a local priest; A. S. Krylovsky in the Preobrazhensky Monastery, where P. P. Kudryavtsev is. On Sunday (June 22/July 5) Rev. P. Ya. Svetlov 135 celebrates the 40th anniversary of his ministry. Addresses are being prepared that will be presented in the St. Sophia Cathedral. Please accept my deepest bow from my family, N. S. Gross and your other comrades. With deep respect and unwavering devotion, your longtime admirer Rev. I. Korolkov. It is in vain that you think badly that the Greek language is completely forgotten in our country. Grossu, as a reader of Byzantine history, often resorts to Greek dictionaries for reference. Our canonist F.I. Mishchenko 136 is assigned, as an academician, to the department of Byzantine history and the other day he turned to me for manuals on Byzantine literature and, by the way, for the Greek-English Lexicon of Sophocles 137, published in New York and which I have. For Byzantine literature, the Greek-French dictionary of Chassanier (A. Chassang.Par., 1872 138) is also important. I'm not even talking about His Eminence Vasily, who is relentlessly engaged in the interpretation of the Gospels and is guided by the dictionary (Greek - German Kremer). If you have your readings, allow me, on your behalf, to distribute them to pious parishioners who are thirsty for spiritual reading. Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 45‒46. September 27/October 10, 1926 Honorable and dear Alexey Afanasyevich! Today I received news that A.I. Brilliantov, through you, intends to send me (for two weeks) a book - “Greek Epigraphy” by Ginriks, translated by Professor Nikitsky 139, which I have been looking for in various libraries for a long time. I earnestly ask you to take the trouble to send me this book, informing me of the postage and how much postage and packaging will cost. On September 26 (Old Art.) there was a solemn service at the Bratsky Monastery, at which Archbishop Vasily, as usual, delivered a very inspired speech 140. Three bishops (Archbishop Vasily, Archbishop Dimitri and Bishop George 141) and many priests came out for the prayer service. After the Liturgy, the kindest A. A. Glagolev invited him to tea, during which they remembered you, who once read the assembly speech with great animation. Students of the young Academy are eagerly awaiting the Charter from you and decide to work for the opening of an Academy in Kiev. Archbishop Vasily, Fr. A. A. Glagolev 142, o. N.P. Smirnov (who regrets that he was not able to work with you) and others send you academically - fraternal greetings. The other day, L.M. Gulyaeva, who visited me, spoke with interest about the letter she received from you. In general, she and everyone who listened to you spoke with delight about your conversations. My family - Fr. A. Lobachevsky, Nonna and Natalia Ivanovna show you their respect and bow. If you send the book from A.I. Brilliantov (to whom please convey my deepest regards), please also include several of your small brochures. May God's mercy be with you all the days of your life. Be healthy and God bless! With deep respect, your long-time colleague, Rev. I. Korolkov. Nikolai Stepanovich fell ill (with a heart) and was transferred to the hospital. Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 23‒24. Dear and dear Alexey Afanasyevich! Yesterday I had my daughter N.P. Ignatiev for this occasion. When L.M. Gulyaeva was with me (about which I wrote to you), I gave her (to read) your brochure - about Count N.P. Ignatiev 143. His daughter really asks him to leave her the brochure “as a souvenir,” since they don’t have one, and the count has 10 grandchildren left, for whom it would be highly desirable to have a booklet with a beautiful portrait about their grandfather. I wrote to you about sending me (from A.I. Brilliantov) “Greek Epigraphy” by Ginrix (translated by Professor Nikitsky). Could you also attach a copy. 5–6 of your brochure about gr. Ignatiev? To save you from the hassle of sending, I wrote to M. N. Bertenson so that she would take the trouble to send the “Epigraphy”. Contact her by phone and ask her to send her son for your brochures. Its address: Vasilyevsky Island, 6th line, No. 17. Tel. 103‒70; home at 3 o'clock day. N. St. Grossu has fallen ill (influenza and heart attacks), and is expected to go home in a few days. Yulia Efimovna's sister died on the 144th - they buried her on the 11th. Greetings to you from Fr. A.V. Lobachevsky with his wife, Natalia Ivanovna and the whole family, as well as from your colleagues. Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 25‒25 vol. October 30/November 12, 1926 Deeply revered and unforgettable Alexey Afanasyevich! It was with particular pleasure that we read your sweet - verbal and good - condescending letter. It especially made a pleasant impression on our mother Nonna Ivanovna, who really works hard for us and carefully looks after me, like a “dear mother.” Take it from her, Al. Vlad. Lobachevsky and the whole family, I bow with deep gratitude for your always warm attitude towards our family and for the prayerful memory of the unforgettable Anna Yakovlevna. || I have already written to you about our great joy, the return of Nikolai Stepanovich. He had already served Vespers and Liturgy in the cathedral. But he feels relatively weak. I am very grateful to you for sending a very valuable book - “Stories” by Bolotov 145. I also wrote to A.I. Brilliantov. When you meet, bow to him and thank him. I would like to thank you in advance for the promised delivery of your brochures about the city. Ignatiev and others, devoted mainly to the description of holidays in Jerusalem. These brochures are small and very edifying. Yesterday, my former professor Sergei Ivanovich Maslov very much asks you to use the attached note to provide information about the handwritten translation of Gisel's Synopsis 146. The note you gave him turned out to be unclear (the pencil was erased). I rejoice for your success at the Academy of Sciences. Greetings to you from the people of Kiev - your colleagues. Your night activities can damage your eyes. Our advice (mine, Fr. Nikolai Stepanovich Gross, brother of Fr. Konstantin) is not to tire the eye. Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 27‒28 December 22, 1926/January 4, 1927 Deeply revered and dear to all Kiev residents who remember and respect you, Alexey Afanasyevich! Our entire family cordially congratulates you on the occasion of the Nativity of Christ, sincerely wishing you to spend the holiday and meet the new summer in good health, peace of mind and all kinds of well-being. Please accept festive greetings from former colleagues of His Eminence Vasily (Bogdashevsky), V.P. Rybinsky 147, P.P. Kudryavtsev, Archpriest V.D. Prilutsky, V.Z. Zavitnevich and others. The family thank you very much for your kind memory and attention. We heard that you would come to us for the holidays. Then don't leave us with your visit. So, among your complex studies, you decided to compose a biography of P. A. Lashkarev, our common teacher, whom we respected, but were also afraid of for his serious and strict attitude towards students. May God grant you this very interesting work! But while praising Pyotr Alexandrovich (and deservedly!), you do not humiliate (and needlessly!) another, i.e. M. Yu. Kovalnitsky 148 . I remember and appreciate them both. But above all, history must maintain impartiality and objectivity. What do we see in this case? I turn to the original source, i.e. V.Z. Zavitnevich, who was surprised to learn that somewhere his letters to Bolotov were preserved, which, according to Professor Zhukovich, he considered non-existent. Now, he considers raising the issue of Bolotov’s disagreement with the views of M. Yu. Kovalnitsky “indelicate” and “untimely.” I turn to history. The work of P. A. Lashkarev in the history department was read by Professor Voronov, who gave a positive review, and Associate Professor Tumasov, who gave a negative review (Extract from the minutes of the Council meetings for the 1877/78 academic year, pp. 229‒289). What does this have to do with M. Yu. Kovalnitsky, about whom you are going to say a “hard word”? You probably didn’t finish watching and mistook Tumasov’s review for Kovalnitsky. You are in vain condemning an innocent person in this case! Finally, at the general meeting of the Council of the Kiev Academy (January 14, 1878), all members of the Council agreed that Professor Lashkarev’s essay in its present form was not entirely satisfactory for obtaining a doctorate (same minutes, p. 290). Do not expect, dear Alexey Afanasyevich, that I, respecting both P. A. Lashkarev and M. Yu. Kovalnitsky, decided to present the case in accordance with historical reality. I conveyed your letter to both N. S. Gross and S. I. Maslov, both thank you very much. Concerning the anniversary of A.I. Sobolevsky, there is bewilderment. V.N. Peretz reports that the hero of the day is “evading” public honoring. Meanwhile, friends of the hero of the day would like to congratulate him. We decided to send greetings to V. N. Peretz. It is heard that Metropolitan Sergius was summoned to Moscow and allegedly arrested. Who will be the Patriarch's locum tenens now? How will it be? With deep respect, your always admirer, Rev. I. Korolkov. To A.I. Brilliantov, V.N. Peretz and others who remember - festive greetings! [postscripts]: I would very much like you to send me, for distribution, the small brochures that you have in abundance. Neither Periwinkle nor the arch. I haven't had Innocent before. Published by: OR RNB. F. 253. Unit. hr. 486. L. 29‒30 vol. Postcard. December 15, 1926 Leningrad The kindest and most revered Fr. Archpriest Ivan Nikolaevich! Congratulations on the upcoming holidays and the approaching New Year! I wish you to meet them in the full meekness of your old age, and to spend the next year without vicissitudes, and even without illnesses, still finding joy and consolation in the memories of the past and reading what is good for the soul. I read your obituary about Vladimir 149, where I liked your threat: “Let not the mouth speak of the deeds of men.” I have never read such obituaries in my entire life. This is what it means to be wise by worldly experience. But I still write, regardless of faces and evil times. I’m collecting material about Lashkarev and I have to say harsh words against Dimitry Kovalnitsky, who treated Pyotr Alexandrovich unfairly in his review. With A.I. Brilliantov, we read Bolotov’s letters to V.Z. Zavitnevich and learned that Bolotov condemned Kovalnitsky’s polemic with Yulian Kulakovsky and stood on the side of the latter 150. “Until now,” writes Bolotov, “based on Kovalnitsky’s speech “On the National Element” 151 I thought that he was an intelligent professor, but it turns out that he is an ignorant historian. Kulakovsky in his speech in teaching relationships stands much higher than his antagonist.” Here's an impartial judgment from history! It is a great honor to V.Z. Zavitnevich that he did not let this review into the public eye at that time: Kovalnitsky would have been in trouble then. He was an amazingly proud man! Our church affairs are bad: the Metropolitan was not allowed to see us; the congress of the clergy was allowed, but without bishops; in general, registration was unsuccessful 152. || Obviously, there is a game of cat and mouse going on... Periwinkle 153 does not show any interest in me, and it is unlikely that I will be able to send you brochures with it. 3 copies "N. P. Ignatiev" sent with Fr. Archimandrite Innocent, who was with me, for transmission to you. Give the enclosed letter to Nikolai Stepanovich Gross, and the Greek note about the Synopsis of Gisel to Mr. Maslov with a bow from me (am I mistaken?). Bow to all your immediate family with Nonna Ivanovna and Fr. Archpriest Lobachevsky, Natalya Ivanovna and then all yours. I wish you a safe holiday celebration. Your admirer, A. Dmitrievsky. Published by: IR NBUV. F. 162. Unit. hr. 412. L. 20‒21 vol. Dear Alexey Afanasyevich, highly respected and respected by all the people of Kiev you know! According to the good old custom, we all greet you with the coming new year of the goodness of the Lord, sincerely wishing you in good health and with the same unflagging zeal to work for many years to serve the science to which you are so selflessly devoted. Yesterday the Lord allowed me to serve the Liturgy and New Year's prayer service in the St. Sophia Cathedral. I was pretty tired, but by the evening I felt satisfactory. There were quite a lot of people the day before and on the holiday. How did you celebrate - according to the old or new style? And where do you go to worship services? As a great Byzantinist, I am turning to you with a big request - to inform you whether you or any academicians you know have the book “Greek Epigraphy” by Gustav Hinrichs, translated by Professor A. Nikitsky (Odessa, 1892)? I would need this book (fol. 32) for 10–20 days. With great gratitude I would return it to you. Please find this book for me. Please accept festive greetings from His Eminence Vasily, our professors, Fr. prot. F.I. Titov, my family - Fr. Lobachevsky, Natalia and Olga (with her husband) Ivanoven. With always deep respect, your admirer Rev. I. Korolkov. On the next day of the Nativity of Christ, by the will of God, V. N. Malinin (78 years old) died.

Please accept the same greeting from my family, who always remember you with love, from Fr. prot. To N. S. Gross (who is ill) and his family, from His Eminence Vasily and the professors of the Academy and all your admirers, of whom there are still a great many in Kyiv. L.M. Gulyaeva was going to write to you herself. I sincerely thank you for the brochures you sent, I just received Periwinkle the other day. I received – “Good Friday”, “Grace of St. fire", "Easter", "Feast of the Holy Trinity", "Epiphany". But you did not send brochures about gr. Ignatiev, I gave my copy to the count’s relatives. Once again I ask you to send 2-3 copies. about gr. Ignatiev, as well as at least according to other holidays. You cannot imagine how pious parishioners, especially female parishioners, are interested in such books. The other day, the elder sister of one church visited me, where on a certain day sisters gather and read soul-saving books. With special love, my sister accepted your brochures, promising to pray for your health and prosperity on the 17th. Nikolai Stepanovich and I miss not hearing from you for so long. You still haven’t responded to our “custom” (Christmas) one. Are you healthy? If we are very busy, at least a postcard would calm us down. Or maybe you were upset by my writing? In this case, for God's sake, forgive my careless word. We had a great many people fasting in the St. Sophia Cathedral, especially in the 1st week. Although there were three clergy at the cathedral, everyone had a lot to do... Confession is a great Sacrament that requires great experience and caution from the priests. From time to time, I also take part in the ministry to the best of my ability. But summer (he’s turning 82) is making itself felt – both his legs and his head are already changing. Well, thank God for everything! In conclusion, I will tell you sad news (if you don’t know). Our dear and revered comrades V.N. Malinin and V.Z. Zavitnevich left us and went to the Lord. Pray for them! Do not leave us, sinners, in your holy prayers. Be healthy and God bless! With always high regard, your co-worker Rev. I. Korolkov. [postscript]: What is the fate of Tuzov’s bookstore?

All of us, your colleagues and good acquaintances, cordially greet you on the great holiday of the Bright Resurrection of Christ, sincerely wishing you to spend the Holidays in good health, spiritual joy, good spirits, rest from your “great” arduous and super-strong academic studies! I am very grateful to you for your letter received today (Good Friday) and for your kind wishes. For my part, I allow myself to express to you friendly brotherly advice - do not tire yourself with your studies and save yourself for the future. And Nikolai Stepanovich and P.P. Kudryavtsev and I were perplexed, having not received news from you for so long. I once advised you “if you don’t have time, limit yourself to postcards.” This will indicate that our letters have been received and that you are well. Do not be surprised that a Kiev lady will come to you to convey our regards and request to provide you with your brochures (Count Ignatiev I still have not received from Archimandrite Hermogenes 154), publications of the Palestine Society. I will convey your bows when we meet, and all your friends bow to you. With always deep respect, your constant admirer, Rev. I. Korolkov. I'm writing quickly, sorry. Published by: OR RNB. F. 253.

For your deep greeting to me on the Great Feast of Easter and the day of my Holy Angel, please accept my deepest, most heartfelt gratitude. Both I and those who read your, as always interesting, letter (among those who read it was His Eminence Vasily) ask you to accept our deep gratitude. Sad news you report about church life. The same news comes from other dioceses. But God's will! Let us pray to the Lord that He, the merciful One, will have mercy on our Holy Orthodox Church and deliver it from enemies visible and invisible. The deep religious mood of the Orthodox believers is also expressed in our churches, which are attended with great zeal by worshippers. Before the Holidays, I caught a cold, returning from the cathedral in the evening, I was caught in the rain, lost my voice and was deprived of the opportunity to participate in the solemn services of Holy and Easter weeks. The doctor allowed me to go out for the first time on April 18: it was a wonderful day, the weather was beautiful. The clergy served me a conciliar prayer service, and my former parishioners and acquaintances greeted me on Angel's Day. I try to replace absences from services with as much prayer as I can at home. But I feel that my strength is weakening, my bodily strength (especially in my legs) is becoming impoverished. I earnestly ask you not to forget me in your holy prayers! Thank God, my head is still working. Sitting at home, I read a lot, especially on archeology and Russian history. I am diligently collecting information for the biography of F. A. Ternovsky. In the Manuscript Section of the National Library I found many interesting documents for biography; handwritten detailed lecture notes by Philipp Alekseevich; his letters to relatives, acquaintances, diaries, letters to him from the famous writer N. S. Leskov. If God gave me the strength to complete my planned work! Another request is to transfer 1 copy. Your biography gr. Ignatieva. I don’t see Archimandrite Hermogenes.

We are talking about the conflict associated with P. A. Lashkarev’s attempt to receive a doctorate in 1887 for the essay “Church Law in its Fundamentals, Types and Sources: From Readings on Church Law” (Kyiv, 1886). The negative and very harsh review of the second reviewer, Professor M. G. (Yu.) Kovalnitsky, then played a decisive role in the Council’s refusal to award the required degree. The author of the review saw in all the works of P. A. Lashkarev, in addition to the fundamental ignorance of “current Christian science,” a very definite tendentious thought: “... the predominant, determining influence of the state system and law on the system and church law” (Minutes of meetings of the Council of the KDA for 1895, Kiev, 1896. P. 115‒166). Speech about: Korolkov I.N., prot. To the blessed memory of the Hieromartyr Vladimir, Metropolitan of Kyiv and Galicia (d. January 25, 1918): with two images of Metropolitan. Vladimir).

Kulakovsky “The Christian Church and Roman Law during the First Two Centuries,” read at Kiev University on December 8, 1891 in favor of those affected by the crop failure (University News. 1891. No. 12. P. 1-31). This speech caused an angry reaction from M. Yu. Kovalnitsky (1839‒1913), who was then a professor at the KDA, and in response - comments in the Kyiv newspaper “Yuzhny Krai” (1892. March 1, No. 3834) and the magazine “Blagovest” (1892. No. 2. Issue 35), who “considered it worthy of its venerable name to reprint this anonymous one in full and in no way justified abuse" (Kulakovsky Yu. A. Christian Church and Roman law during the first two centuries: a response to “Several remarks” placed in the Proceedings of the Kyiv Theological Academy // University News. 1892. No. 7. P. 2) (see for more details: Puchkov A. A. Yulian Kulakovsky and his time: from the history of ancient studies and Byzantine studies in Russia. 2nd ed., revised and supplemented.

A. Dmitrievsky (from the beginning of teaching at KazDA in 1882). However, two more anniversaries of Alexei Afanasyevich were added to this date: the 50th anniversary of the beginning of his scientific and literary activities (first speech and its publication in the Astrakhan Diocesan Gazette in 1878), as well as the 25th anniversary of participation in the work of the Academy of Sciences (election as a member - correspondent of the Academy of Sciences in the Department of Russian Language and Literature at the end of 1902 d.) On the date of the celebration of the “triple anniversary” at the Higher Theological Courses, the opinions of researchers differ (see: Akishin S. Yu. The last period of life and the fate of the scientific heritage of the professor of the Kyiv Theological Academy A. A. Dmitrievsky. P. 254), but in a letter dated January 1, 1928, Dmitrievsky himself indicates the date December 31, 1927.

Declaration of July 29, 1927, issued on behalf of the Provisional Patriarchal Holy Synod on the initiative of the Patriarchal Locum Tenens Metropolitan Sergius (Stragorodsky) of Nizhny Novgorod (“Declaration of Metropolitan Sergius”); caused the discontent of many bishops, clergy and church laity, as an unacceptable compromise with the atheistic authorities, which allowed the latter’s almost total interference in church affairs. Archpriest Vasily Akimov, like Archpriest John, came from the Oryol province. and graduated from the Oryol DS. Archpriest John studied at the KDA in 1865-1869, S.A. Ternovsky - in 1867-1871, so the “half-terms” of their academic years coincided.
