Abstract
The purpose of the is to analyze the prerequisites for the emergence of the ideas of the Renovationism in the prerevolutionary years in Russia. The relevance and scientific novelty of this study consists in focusing special attention on the prerequisites for the emergence of ideas of the Renovationism among the Russian intellectuals and the metropolitan clergy. Reactions to them in the provincial spiritual community are considered. The author emphasizes that during the first Russian revolution of 1905-1907, the two revolutions of 1917, and in the first decades of Soviet statehood, the problem of renewal of church life was more acute than ever. At the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries, all the contradictions of Russian life became aggravated, such as: social, political, spiritual. As a result, the author concludes that the changes that took place in society, the state, and politics prompted the Church (represented by its representatives, intellectually minded believers) to look for ways to form a new vision of church life.
