Harbingers of new life

The article shows the formation of a new society on the example of the Russian history of modern times. V. Katasonov, A. Pyzhikov, Russian thinkers, economists, historians, and philosophers wrote a lot about this. And this was not perceived as a mythological construction, because. this society rested on the principles of economic and social justice. The author comes to the conclusion that the formation of the Russian state, the formation of the Russian society took place on the basis of a broad religious and social movement, an integral part of which was the Orthodox Church. However, Church Orthodoxy, as the axis around which Russian statehood and the life of the people were built, turned out to be broken. The liturgical reform of the second half of the 17th century caused upheavals unprecedented in their consequences. The transition to Greek religious patterns caused rejection among a significant part of the population. The main reason for rejection was that these innovations were regarded as an infringement of antiquity, falling under an alien religious unification. In addition, the Ecumenical Church of Constantinople at the turn of the XVI-XVII centuries. was in a deep crisis, as a result of which its authority in Russia was low. In the popular strata of the center of Russia, the North, the Volga region, the Urals and Siberia, large branches of priestlessness were firmly rooted, which accepted popular socialism and were ready to develop it. So, in Soviet times, artels were a variant of the zemstvo structure of the economy. The aristocracy and partocracy knew little about the peculiarities of the people's ideal and indiscriminately denied them, were not ready to make any concessions whatsoever. Those attempts to create a new society in the XIX - early XX century. accumulated contain a lot of experience currently used by specialists.
