Fadeev A., archpriest. Integraciya mental'nyh prostranstv na primere koncepta kul'tovoj sredy «snezhnyj chelovek» [Integration of mental spaces on the example of the Cult Milieu's concept "bigfoot"] // Trudy Saratovskoi pravoslavnoi dukhovnoi seminarii. [Proceedings of the Saratov Orthodox Theological Seminary]. 2024. No 1 (24). pp. 11–31. DOI: 10.56621/27825884_2024_24_11
Abstract: The aim of the study is to test the method of conceptual integration of mental spaces for the Cultic Milieu’s concept "bigfoot". The article focuses on the fact that the concept acts as a mental representation of the corresponding fragment of the surrounding reality as a dynamic structure of knowledge. A feature of the above example is cognitive fiction, which, nevertheless, has a stable vitality in the discourse of unconventional religiosity. The scientific novelty of the study is to identify the initial mental spaces, their integration and the isolation of new emergent properties that contribute to maintaining the concept in a homeostatic state. As a result of the study, it was determined that the method of conceptual integration could be effectively used in interpreting cult concepts from the field of unconventional religiosity.
Keywords: the Cultic Milieu, conceptual integration, mental space, "bigfoot", cognitive linguistics, relic hominid, cryptozoology.

The concept of saeculum in the treatises of St. Augustine Aurelius “On True Religion” and “On the Book of Genesis Literally”

Kontsept saeculum v traktatakh blazhennogo Avgustina Avreliya «Ob istinnoy religii» i «O Knige Bytiya bukval'no» [The concept of saeculum in the treatises of St. Augustine Aurelius “On True Religion” and “On the Book of Genesis Literally”] // Trudy Saratovskoi pravoslavnoi dukhovnoi seminarii. [Proceedings of the Saratov Orthodox Theological Seminary]. 2024. No 1 (24). pp. 32–51. DOI: 10.56621/27825884_2024_24_32
Abstract: This article offers a contextual study of the concept of saeculum in the treatises of St. Aurelius Augustine «De vera religione» and «De Genesi ad litteram». Based on the analysis of the use of the noun saeculum in the treatises, the author comes to the conclusion that, although all the basic provisions have already been set out in the treatise «De vera religione», in the treatise «De Genesi ad litteram» they receive significant deepening and development, some new ideas related to this concept appear. These new meanings in the theoretical theological and philosophical basis of the treatises of St. Augustine include the fact that the polysemantic term saeculum — “age”, “world”, can have both a purely temporal meaning of a “temporal era”, and can be contrasted with the reality of human existence with the Divine, in sense of the biblical meaning of “this world”.
Keywords: St. Augustine; St. Augustine of Hippo; De vera religione; De Genesi ad litteram; saeculum; this world; historical, social and political concepts of St. Augustine.

Znacheniye formirovaniya semeynogo obraza zhizni v vospitanii molodezhi [The importance of forming a family lifestyle in the education of youth] // Trudy Saratovskoi pravoslavnoi dukhovnoi seminarii. [Proceedings of the Saratov Orthodox Theological Seminary]. 2023. No 4 (23). pp. 52–65. DOI: 10.56621/27825884_2023_23_52
Abstract: The article reveals the factors that negatively affect the worldview of modern youth, leveling family values and significantly reducing the popularity of the family lifestyle among the younger generation, including boys and girls brought up in Orthodox families, whose parents are not always able to instill in their children their Christian vision of the family, to form competent ideological assessments of the role of men and women in the family. An assessment of the importance of the family from the position of representatives of the Orthodox Church is given, it is shown that in the context of the educational mission of the Russian Orthodox Church, one of the directions is to strengthen the missionary orientation of parish life in the field of youth upbringing. It is possible to make up for the loss of ideas about the family way of life among young people by developing their Christian worldview and forming ideas about the family way of life in accordance with Christian commandments. At the same time, programs of educational work among young people implemented by parishes are becoming important. Based on the study of family values among high school students, it was revealed that many students cannot name the ways of showing love in the family, their attitude towards parents is consumerist, many have erroneous ideas about family roles, and the culture of family life is not a value. In order to form in high school students the ideas of an Orthodox family lifestyle, the program consisting of creative workshops with students and joint meetings with students and their parents has been implemented.
Keywords: family lifestyle, youth, family values, Orthodox family, family roles, Christian marriage, religious worldview.

"Church keys seized": church closure in the context of the social policy of the Soviet government in the Piterka district of Saratov region in 1930–1937

[Proceedings of the Saratov Orthodox Theological Seminary]. 2024. No 1 (24). pp. 66–103. DOI: 10.56621/27825884_2024_24_66
Abstract: Church buildings in pre-revolutionary Russia served as centers of ritual and social activity. The most active villagers united around them and played an essential role in maintaining the village's ecclesiastical infrastructure. While discussing the anti-religious politics enforced after 1917, researchers highlight its ideological component. The presence of this aspect is beyond doubt, but in the current paper we see the closure of the Orthodox churches as a part of the social politics of the new government, aimed at building «Soviet society» as opposed to the pre-Revolutionary system of social institutions. The subtraction of church buildings as a physical representation of the old order was an inseparable part of this policy.
In this paper, we analyze the strategies of the local Soviet authorities aimed at closing the churches in the villages of Small Uzen’, Mironovka, Aleksashkino, and Piterka (the modern Piterka district of Saratov region). The paper’s aim is twofold: we seek to first reconstruct the chronology of events that led to the churches’ closure. Second, we aim to trace the strategies, methods, and practices used by local authorities to destroy civilecclesiastical social structures through the seizure of church buildings. Another important aim of our study is to highlight the resistance shown by village communities and document the names and individual stories of the people connected to the ecclesiastical infrastructure.
The research uses previously unknown documents from the state archives of the Samara and Saratov regions, the archive of the Administration of the Federal Security Service in the Saratov region, supplemented by villagers’ memories.
Keywords: social policies of communists, churches’ seizure, Volga region, 1930s, village communities, resistance, Saratov region.

Changes in the teaching staff of the seminary during the period under study and their impact on the process of education and upbringing of seminarians are considered. The results of teaching the seminarians are illustrated by the memories of colleagues and parishioners, reviews of the clergy, and archival documents of the authorized of the Council for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church (hereinafter referred to as the Council). Based on the analysis of the first seminary graduates’ destiny, a conclusion was made about the effectiveness of the educational process at the Saratov Theological Seminary in 1947–1951.

The Petition of the Balakovo Orthodox Old Believers to the Samara Bishop Gerasim (Dobroserdov) for the Appointment of a Priest
For citation:
Solovev P. Prosheniye balakovskikh yedinovertsev k samarskomu yepiskopu Gerasimu (Dobroserdovu) o naznachenii svyashchennika [The petition of the Balakovo orthodox old believers to the Samara Bishop Gerasim (Dobroserdov) for the appointment of a priest] // Trudy Saratovskoi pravoslavnoi dukhovnoi seminarii. [Proceedings of the Saratov Orthodox Theological Seminary]. 2024. No 1 (24). pp. 134–151. DOI: 10.56621/27825884_2024_24_134
Abstract: The paper presents the publication of an archival document — the petition of the Orthodox Old Believers of the village of Balakovo, Nykolayevsk district, for the appointment of a priest to them. The published document is an example of how one of the key provisions of the rules of unity of the Moscow Metropolitan Platon (Levshin) was implemented at the regional level. In this case, it means the possibility of Orthodox Old Believers to elect a candidate for ordination to the priesthood. The petition of the Balakovo Orthodox Old Believers reveals to some extent the nature of the relationship between the diocesan authorities and Orthodox Old Believers, the peculiarities of their worldview and the electability of the priesthood as the identity of parish life. The analysis of the published source is carried out on the basis of research and other archival sources that contain additional factual material on the local history of the edinoveriye in pre-revolutionary Russia.
Keywords: the rules of Metropolitan Platon (Levshin), Orthodox Old Believers (the edinoveriye), Old Believers, Gerasim (Dobroserdov), Samara province, Balakovo, Krivoluchye.
