Abstract

The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of eschatological views of Russian radical Old Faith followers, on the one hand, and the followers of the Saint John of Kronstadt, on the other hand. The author reconstructs the radical Old Believers concept of the total world desacralization, “spiritual Antichrist”, its manifestations in state power and sociality. The author analyzes the views of Saint John of Kronsradt on the presence of the sacral in the world by way of Eucharist. He reconstructs the perception of Saint John of Kronstadt followers of the general confession as the image of the Judgment Day. The author shows the convergence of eschatological views of the radical Old Believers and the “joannites” in the Soviet period.
