Историко-Правовые Основы И Эволюция Экономических Отношений В Русской Православной Церкви В Хіі-Хіх Веках: На Примере Украинских Земель

Abstract

The article discusses the evolution of economic and legal relations in the history of the Russian Orthodox Church in the 12th-19th centuries using the example of business entities in the territory of modern Ukraine. Being centres of crafts and trade, Orthodox monasteries contributed to the improvement of the production of various products, the formation of entire branches of the church manufactory industry. Being large business entities, monasteries, courtyards and cathedrals played a significant role in the economic activity of the Russian Church, as a result of which its power was regulated and limited by the power of Russian tsars and emperors, and after the Bolshevik coup of 1917 it was actually outlawed.
