Abstract

The article deals with the works of researchers, whose sphere of interest is the biography of the Russian saint, the Monk Tryphon of Vyatka – a monk of the Pyskor Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery, a hermit, the founder of the Dormition Monastery on the Chusovaya River and three monasteries on the Vyatka River. Special attention is paid to the analysis and interpretation of the peculiarities of ethnic history and migration processes that took place in the territory of the Kama region in the 1617th centuries with hagiographic works about Trifon of Vyatka, among which the leading place is occupied by the hagiography of the saint, written by an unknown monk of the Vyatka Trifon Monastery. Based on the saint's hagiography and other written sources, the authors describe his enlightenment activities in the Perm fiefdoms of the Stroganov salt producers, and trace Tryphon's desire to fulfil the ideal of a Godpleasing existence through his enlightenment pilgrimage in the Perm lands. The obtained results of the study of the texts of the hagiography of Tryphon of Vyatka may be of interest in the study, analysis and comparison of various historical stages of the formation of Perm the Great within the Russian state.
