| description | The Ekaterinburg eparchy has close historical connections with many dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church. One of the most significant episodes of this cooperation was the resettlement of clergy from the European part of Russia to the Urals. It took place in the 1830s and was organized by Archbishop Arcadius (Fedorov). Most of the clergymen who changed their place of service at that time came from the Vladimir and Ryazan dioceses. Still, the clergy of the Tambov diocese also occupied a rather visible place in the general mass of immigrants. It should be added that the Tambov clerics repeatedly moved into the territory of the diocese of Ekaterinburg later on. It is interesting that the Russians began to develop Tambov land in the 17th century, which was somewhat later than the Urals. However, the independent Tambov diocese was founded already in 1682 — two centuries before the Ekaterinburg diocese establishment. At present, 67 clerics, monks and devotees of piety who served in the Tambov region belong to the Synaxis of Tambov Saints.
Among the Tambovites who carried out their church ministry in the Urals there were many outstanding personalities. These include martyr of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad Archbishop Eusebius (Rozhdestvensky), and priest (later Renovationist archbishop) Nikolay Chizhov, archpriest Roman Novospassky of the St. Catherine cathedral of Ekaterinburg, and teacher of Kamyshlov Religious school Ivan Kuzmich Sakharov, as well as hieromonk Pavel (Muretov), priests Alexander Isakov, Gavriil and Stephan Mikhailov, and also Valentin Nikolsky. On the whole, natives of the Tambov diocese and their descendants have left a distinctive mark in the Urals, and in particular within the territory of the present Ekaterinburg metropolis. For over a century, they firmly established themselves and carried out their church ministry in this region. It should be noted there were those who came here against their will. At the height of the Bolshevik anti-clerical campaign, at the end of the 1930s, the Tambovites were sent into exile to the Urals, and here they faced their martyr’s death. At the same time the names of some of them remain displayed only in the Ivdellag prison register, staying unavailable in open sources.
This article, prepared primarily on the basis of documents from the Ural archives and pre-revolutionary publications of the diocesan gazette, is the first work on the topic. It is intended for a wide range of people interested in the history of the Ekaterinburg and Tambov dioceses and the Russian Orthodox Church as a whole. |
