- Scope and content:
- The fond contains a number of files pertaining one way or another to the attitude of the Russian Orthodox Church toward Judaism and its adherents. These include secret correspondence of the Holy Synod with Kievan Metropolitan Filaret on using the baptized Jew E. Temkin for missionary work to convert Jews of the Kiev, Podolia, and Volhynia provinces to Christianity, and on Temkin’s excommunication for “suspect behaviour” (1838); files on baptized Jews; memoranda and drafts on Jews’ conversion to Christianity and “on difficulties experienced by Jews in converting to Christianity, and measures to alleviate these”; and an edict of 14 February 1831 on supplemental measures “to ward off” [otvrashchenie] the phenomenon of Jews only pretending to adopt the Christian faith. There are also letters to Kievan Metropolitan Flavian by leaders of the Kiev provincial branch and the Berdichev county branch of the Union of the Russian People on the fact that village priests had evinced a negative view of them, and on the need to enlist these priests in the cause of intensifying Black Hundreds propaganda (1910).
