The Russian Revolutions of 1917 ushered in an era of change and upheaval in Russian political and civil society. The Russian Orthodox Church was not removed from the new social and political context in which old certainties were being undermined and new systems imagined. In the heady days of October, the Church underwent its own ‘revolution’ as it elected a patriarch to lead it for the first time in over two hundred years. Through the patriarchal enthronement ceremony and the rhetoric attached to it, Church leaders advanced a new vision of Russia: one in which the Church would be a guiding moral light for the nation in tumultuous times. In this new ‘scenario of power,’ the Church reclaimed symbols and narratives that the tsars had previously used to describe their autocratic rule. Yet, in the democratizing climate of the revolution, the Church did not have exclusive control over the narrative of the patriarchate. Throughout 1917 and 1918, journalists and individuals who wrote to the patriarch advanced their own visions of the patriarchate and its role in the new Russia – visions which sometimes contradicted that offered by the Church hierarchy itself. The patriarchate became a vessel for narratives of Russia and of the revolution through which people expressed their hopes, fears, and even dreams for the future of Russia. When viewed in this light, the patriarchate itself is revealed to be not a mere holdover of the old regime or an institution of interest to those who study the Church, but rather a crucial device for revealing new voices of the Russian Revolution.

(重新)构建正统的“权力情景”:革命俄罗斯(1917-1918)中俄罗斯东正教宗主教区的恢复

1917 年的俄国革命开启了俄国政治和公民社会变革和动荡的时代。俄罗斯东正教并没有脱离新的社会和政治环境,旧的确定性正在被破坏,新的体系正在被想象。在令人兴奋的十月,教会经历了自己的“革命”,因为它选举了一位牧首来领导它,这是两百多年来的第一次。通过宗法登基仪式和与之相关的花言巧语,教会领导人提出了一种新的俄罗斯愿景:在这种愿景中,教会将成为国家动荡时期的指导道德之光。在这个新的“权力情景”中,教会重新使用了沙皇以前用来描述其专制统治的符号和叙述。然而,在革命的民主化气氛中,教会对宗主教区的叙述没有排他性的控制权。在整个 1917 年和 1918 年,写信给宗主教的记者和个人提出了他们自己对宗主教及其在新俄罗斯中的作用的愿景——这些愿景有时与教会等级本身提供的愿景相矛盾。宗主教成为俄罗斯和革命叙事的载体,人们通过它表达他们对俄罗斯未来的希望、恐惧,甚至梦想。从这个角度来看,宗主教区本身不仅是旧政权的继承者,也不是研究教会的人感兴趣的机构,而是揭示俄罗斯革命新声音的重要工具。写信给牧首的记者和个人提出了他们自己对牧首及其在新俄罗斯中的作用的愿景——这些愿景有时与教会等级本身提供的愿景相矛盾。宗主教成为俄罗斯和革命叙事的载体,人们通过它表达他们对俄罗斯未来的希望、恐惧,甚至梦想。从这个角度来看,宗主教区本身不仅是旧政权的继承者,也不是研究教会的人感兴趣的机构,而是揭示俄罗斯革命新声音的重要工具。写信给牧首的记者和个人提出了他们自己对牧首及其在新俄罗斯中的作用的愿景——这些愿景有时与教会等级本身提供的愿景相矛盾。宗主教成为俄罗斯和革命叙事的载体,人们通过它表达他们对俄罗斯未来的希望、恐惧,甚至梦想。从这个角度来看,宗主教区本身不仅是旧政权的继承者,也不是研究教会的人感兴趣的机构,而是揭示俄罗斯革命新声音的重要工具。宗主教成为俄罗斯和革命叙事的载体,人们通过它表达他们对俄罗斯未来的希望、恐惧,甚至梦想。从这个角度来看,宗主教区本身不仅是旧政权的继承者,也不是研究教会的人感兴趣的机构,而是揭示俄罗斯革命新声音的重要工具。宗主教成为俄罗斯和革命叙事的载体,人们通过它表达他们对俄罗斯未来的希望、恐惧,甚至梦想。从这个角度来看,宗主教区本身不仅是旧政权的继承者,也不是研究教会的人感兴趣的机构,而是揭示俄罗斯革命新声音的重要工具。
