Abstract
The article deals with the "skazki" (documents) about the confessions of the monks of Olonets Uyezd (County) for the first time. These are special documents compiled by the superiors of male and female monasteries of the region and contain information about how the procedure for confessing monks was organized in the Peter the Great era. The study is preceded by a brief overview of the legislation regulating the terms of confession of sins and choosing a confessor in the Russian Orthodox Church. The conclusion is made about the important informational significance of the presented documents for studying the features of monastic confessional practice in Olonets Uezd (County) in the first quarter of the XVIII century.
