Church and State and the Conflict over the Erosion of Morals in 18th Century Russia
Russian History. 2021. Vol. 48. P. 169–186.
At the beginning of the 18th century, sexual crimes, which until then were considered
only a sin and were subject to ecclesiastical punishment, became crimes also subject
to secular courts. Henceforth, the Orthodox Church and the state now had to interact
in the fight against violations of the norms of people’s sexual behavior. The article analyzes
how this interaction took place in practice and shows that there was a kind of
competition between the Church and the state for power over emotions and bodies. At
the same time, the state personified by secular officials appeared to be more sensitive
to the changes taking place in Russian society and, in fact, was gradually ousting the
Church from this sphere.

Поскольку древнерусским князьям приходилось постоянно принимать участие в походах и сражениях, идеал правителя должен был, несомненно, отражать представления о них как о воинах. Предполагаемая рядом исследователей первостепенная важность воинского образа
князей, включающего их ратные и полководческие качества, однако, не находит подтверждения среди летописных некрологов (посмертных панегириков). Эти текст конструируют посмертный образ князя, отмечая его важнейшие качества ...
