History

[edit]

1990s

[edit]

At the end of 1990, on the initiative of hegumen Andronik (Trubachov), the publishing house of the Valaam Monastery was established in Moscow. In February 1991, Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia issued a decree on the establishment of the Valaam Publishing House, which consolidated its legal status. From the very beginning of its activity, the publishing house has been publishing serious scientific and historical works. Monuments of early Christian and Old Russian literature were published, classic works of pre-revolutionary church scientists, which had to be returned to the reader of the end of the XX century. In 1993, it was decided to publish a fundamental "History of the Russian Church" based on the famous work of Metropolitan Macarius (Bulgakov) for the 850th anniversary of Moscow, supplementing it with voluminous scientific commentaries, prefaces and indexes. As the publication of the History of the Russian Church approached its conclusion, the question arose of how to preserve a team of secular and ecclesiastical scientists numbering about twenty people, who had proven themselves well in terms of research activities. According to Sergei Kravets [ru], "a new task arose for them by itself: already since the middle of the XIX century, the Orthodox Church, and not only the Russian Church, but all Local Orthodox Churches, had a grandiose, but never achieved goal – the creation of a fundamental body of knowledge in the form of the "Orthodox Encyclopedia""[5]

10 October 1996, the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church approved the edition of 25-volume Orthodox Encyclopedia. To implement the project, the following were formed: Supervisory, Trustees, Church-scientific and editorial boards, as well as the Association of philanthropists.[2]

Sergey Kravets stated: "the basic parameters of the upcoming work on the Orthodox Encyclopedia were identified in 1997. From the very beginning the Encyclopedia planned to tackle issue that look far beyond the scope of the Orthodox world: it had to be presented basic information on all Christian denominations and other religions, significant material from the fields of philosophy, morality, ethics, art, music. The edition was to be not only an encyclopedia of the Orthodoxy, but as an encyclopedia of the Orthodox view on the human spirit world, on all human spheres of life".[5]

On 19 February 1998, the first meeting of the Scientific and editorial board for publication of the 25-volume Orthodox Encyclopedia was held under the chairmanship of Patriarch Alexy II in the Throne Room of the Synodal residence in Danilov Monastery. The Scientific Editorial Board approved the thematic division of the Encyclopedia and determined the time of its creation, based on the need to release the first volume on the 2000th anniversary of the birth of Christ. In addition, it approved the need of interacting with the ecclesiastical and secular academic institutions, the dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church, as well as with the other local churches. President Boris Yeltsin took the publication under his patronage.[6]

Initially, the authors hoped to rely on the unfinished Orthodox Theological Encyclopedia [ru] (1900–1911)[7] by Alexander Lopukhin and Nikolai Glubokovsky [ru], as on well as the Greek Orthodox Encyclopedia "Θρησκευτική και Ηθική Εγκυκλοπαίδεια". But during the work on glossary, it became clear that the information in the Orthodox Theological Encyclopedia, despite their high scientific value, were outdated, and that information in the Greek encyclopedia was so narrow, national in character that could not be used as the main source for the creation of the conceived common the Orthodox Encyclopedia set.[5]

The entire year 1999 was spent on the preparation of the first, non-alphabetic volume of "Русская православная церковь" ("Russian Orthodox Church"), and the completion of the glossary.[5] In total, 25 volumes were originally planned for publication (including non-alphabetical one), and the project was expected to be completed by 2012.[8][9][10]

In the year of the 2000th anniversary of the Nativity of Christ, a non-alphabetical volume of the encyclopedia dedicated to the Russian Orthodox Church was published. Its presentation took place on May 6 in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.[11] On November 23, in the Church of St. Nicholas in Tolmachi, Patriarch Alexy II celebrated a thanksgiving prayer on the occasion of the publication of the first alphabetical volume of the encyclopedia.[12][13]

In March 2006, Patriarch Alexy II sent circular letters to all the theological academies of the Russian Orthodox Church with a proposal to discuss at academic councils the need for a sharp intensification of participation in the work on the publication of the Orthodox Encyclopedia. The Patriarch suggested that the theological academies include the topics of future articles of the Orthodox Encyclopedia in the list of topics for writing theses and candidate's works.
