Abstract
Siberian metropolitan Ignatius (Rimsky-Korsakov) active took part in the church’s life in the last third of the XVIIcentury and was one of the ideologists of the Moscow kingdom. His attitude to the Greeks, Greek Orthodoxy, languageand culture is well discovered on an analysis of his published and unpublished writings and other works. Ignatius can becalled as a philhellenist. In his works he referred to the authority of the Orthodox East and apparently he knew the Greeklanguage. His respectful attitude to the Greeks was not simply the delight of their faith. He was also a strong desire to freethem from the Ottoman rule. His views of the Eastern patriarchates and their representatives were based on the conceptof “Constantinople (Byzantium) heritage”. This theory prevailed in the official Moscow ideology in the second half ofthe XVII century.
