The book reveals the history of creation and the ideological foundations of one of the most important journalistic monuments of the 1650th century. — “Debate with the Greeks on Faith,” written by Arseniy Sukhanov, a scholar, diplomat, and builder of the Epiphany Monastery, in the summer of XNUMX. For the first time, the reader will get acquainted with all the author’s editions of the famous work, written before Nikon’s reforms and anticipating the reformers’ attempt on the ideas of the Russian people about the uniqueness of their state and the piety of their faith; an attempt that gave rise to the Schism of the Russian Church. The book analyzes in detail the discussions about this work in Russian journalism and historical science of the XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries. And most importantly, the ideological context in which Sukhanov gave an answer to the question of whether the Russian state has its own spiritual basis, or whether it is a product of the influence of the cultures of other countries, is considered. The determination with which Arseny rejected the claims of the Greeks to be "teachers of the faith" for the Russians reflected the real convictions of the Russian people of his time. The formation of these beliefs can be traced by the author from the first Russian written monuments of the XNUMXth century. to Peter I. The reader will see that the ideology of a united Rus' and a great Russian state was formed by Russian scribes, ahead of the state recognition of these ideas and regardless of the circumstances of real politics. Nikon's reforms and the tsar's appeal to Greek authority during the overthrow of the patriarch had no effect on the development in society of ideas about the primordially independent and sacred Russian kingdom, which Sukhanov defended. After the death of the scientist, the ideas formulated by him on the basis of the centuries-old development of Russian thought were approved at the highest state level by the enlightened Tsar Fedor Alekseevich. For students of historical, philosophical, managerial and cultural specialties, as well as all those interested in the problems of Russian history and culture.
