The Construction of Russian Orthodox Churches in Erebuni

Возникновение храмов Русской православной церкви в Эривани в XIX — начале XX века

The Construction of Russian Orthodox Churches in Erebuni

Abstract

Актуальность выбранной тематики определяется современным состоянием связей между Русской православной и Армянской апостольской церквами. Систематический характер данные связи приобрели после вхождения Восточной Армении в состав России. В настоящее время деятельность православных храмов на территории Армении и армянских епархий в России является одним из факторов, способствующих укреплению не только церковных, но и политических отношений между двумя государствами. Цель статьи — анализ феномена возникновения русских православных храмов в административном центре Восточной Армении — Эривани (совр. Ереван, Республика Армения), во второй половине XIX — начале XX века. Кратко приводится степень изученности указанной тематики. Предмет исследования составляет комплекс обстоятельств, связанных с процессом появления русских православных храмов в Эривани. На основании неопубликованных ранее архивных источников из фондов Национального архива Республики Армения воссозданы детали строительства церковноприходской школы и Николаевского православного кафедрального собора, показаны технические недостатки здания собора, обнаружившиеся в ходе его использования для богослужебных целей, приведены имена и фамилии первых священнослужителей собора. Проанализированный материал позволяет сформулировать вывод об укреплении к рубежу XIX–XX веков позиций Русской православной церкви в Восточной Армении в целом и в Эривани как губернском центре в частности, что было вызвано в наибольшей степени политическими мотивами: активизацией русификаторского курса в Закавказье, стремлением Российского правительства воздействовать на русских сектантов. Историческое значение процесса возникновения православных храмов в Эривани заключается, во-первых, в появлении традиций русского православия в будущей столице Армении, во-вторых, в создании обстоятельств для учреждения Эриванского (Ереванского) викариатства Русской православной церкви в 1912 году и, в-третьих, в поддержании межконфессиональных связей между Русской православной и Армянской апостольской церквами в современных условиях. The present state of relations between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Armenian Apostolic Church accounts for the relevance of the issues discussed in the article. When Eastern Armenia became part of Russia, the relations between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Armenian Apostolic Church acquired a systemic character. In our time, Russian Orthodox churches functioning in the territory of Armenia and Armenian eparchies promote religious and political connections between the two countries. The aim of the article is to analyze the construction of Russian Orthodox churches in Erebuni, the administrative center of Eastern Armenia (now known as Yerevan, the capital of the Republic of Armenia) in the late 19th— early 20th centuries. The article explores the circumstances associated with the appearance of Russian Orthodox churches in Erebuni. The article investigates previously unpublished archival documents stored in the National Archival Fund of the Republic of Armenia. The article reconstructs the details of the construction of St. Nicolas Orthodox Cathedral and Erebuni parochial school. The article shows some architectural drawbacks of the cathedral which became obvious when the cathedral was opened and started functioning. The article provides names and surnames of the first priests who served in the cathedral. The analyzed data enables the author to conclude that at the turn of the 19th — 20th centuries, the Russian Orthodox church strengthened its position in Erebuni and in Eastern Armenia, in general. The situation was politically motivated by the pro-Russian sentiments Transcaucasia and by the desire of the Russian government to exert pressure on Russian sectaries. The appearance of Russian Orthodox churches in Erebuni is historically significant, for it encouraged the spread of Russian Orthodox traditions in the capital of Armenia, promoted the establishment of the Armenian Apostolic Vicariate in Russia in 1912, and encouraged the inter-confessional relations between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Armenian Apostolic Church in modern conditions.
