This study is of great importance for understand-ing the history of Russia and the role of the Church in society. The study of the teaching staff of theological seminaries and the degree of their professional training makes it possible to analyze the possibilities of the influence of this category of church intellectuals on the social life of Russia at that time. The article analyzes the nature and essence of the interaction of the church intellectuals with representatives of state power, as well as the influence of the teaching staff of the theological educational institutions of tsarist Russia on public sentiment and the sphere of public education.
