“I Have Information about Your Christian Exploits...”: The Epitope of the Eastern Churches and the Apostle of Siberia and America (from the Correspondence of St. Innokenty and A. N. Muravyov)

Author(s)
I. I. Yurganova
Abstract
The conducted research is devoted to the identification of information not previously introduced into scientific circulation about the correspondence of a church and statesman of the 19th century, a missionary educator, svt. Innokenty (Veniaminov) and the Orthodox spiritual writer, church historian, playwright and poet A. N. Muravyov based on the epistolary legacy of the saint and the documents of Muravyov's personal fund. The contents of the letters provided an opportunity to get an idea of the friendly relations between the epitope of the Eastern Churches and the Apostle of Siberia and to establish new areas of interest for Muravyov, a recognized expert on church policy in the Middle East, including interest in the spread of Orthodoxy in the northeastern outskirts of the Empire, the Far East and Russian America.
