Abstract

The article describes the territorial mobility of representatives of one of the privileged estates of the Russian Empire - Orthodox clergy by the example of Vitebsk province. The factual base of the research is obituaries to the clergy and articles, devoted to them, published in the last quarter of the XIXth century in the ecclesiastical magazine “Polotsk Eparchial Gazette”. The author has discovered that during 1840-1890s the territorial mobility of the Orthodox clergy was determined by the specifc professional activity of the clergy.
