The principle of Trinity in historical construction and cultural code of Russia

The article notes that in the Orthodox confession of Three Persons of One God, the scribes and statesmen of Ancient Rus’ relied on dogmatics, as well as on ascetic practice and theoretical discoveries of hesychasm as the highest spiritual achievements of the Orthodox Church of Byzantium. At the same time, Orthodox Rus’ made its contribution to the development of the glorification and confession of the Holy Trinity. For example, starting with saint equal-to-the-apostles princess Olga, a tradition of building Trinity churches appeared in Rus’, which did not exist in Byzantium. The Day of the Holy Trinity as the divine source of Life was celebrated and understood in a new way on the Russian land. The article shows the contribution of venerable Sergius of Radonezh, Epiphanius the Wise, Andrei Rublev, the elder Philotheus, as well as the ancient Russian scribe, preacher and theologian of the 16th century Hermolaus-Erasmus to the theological understanding of the Trinity in love. It became the ideal and the main reference point in the religious, cultural, historical calling and direction of development of Rus’-Russia, the forming principle of all aspects of its social, economic, everyday life and its state building. The focus of Russian religious philosophers and classics of literature, as shown in the article, is the integrity and internal unity of being and human soul as the main value and goal, which goes back to the Trinity of the Christian God. The ternary principle of the idea of integrity became the basis of the methodology of outstanding Russian philologists. The archetype of the Trinity is recognized by modern Russian scientists as universal, with the help of which the duality of world perception is overcome. All this allows us to conclude that the principle of trinity has existed for many centuries and actively manifests itself and its fundamental significance in the historical destiny and cultural code of Russia.
