Abstract

The influence of the Byzantine Symphony on state policy in Russia is considered. It is noted that the interaction of the Patriarch and the Tsar was aimed at influencing Christian morality to mitigate the power aspect of the autocracy's policy and the influence of the Tsar on the behavior of his entourage. The author analyzes the historical contradictions of this process that emerged during the reign of Ivan the terrible and Peter the Great, and the reasons for the abolition of the Patriarchate, and the consequences of the concentration of state and spiritual power in the hands of the autocrat. The factors influencing the reanimation of the philosophy and logic of the Byzantine Symphony in its transformed form - in relation to modern conditions-are considered.
