| | | | Holy Synod: Encyclopedia II - Grigori Rasputin - Assassination beliefs The legends recounting the death of Rasputin are perhaps even more bizarre than his strange life. Having decided that Rasputin's influence over the Tsarina made him too dangerous to the Empire, a group of nobles apparently lured Rasputin to the palace of their ringleader, Prince Felix Yusupov, where they served him cakes and red wine laced with measured amounts of cyanide. According to the legend, Rasputin was not affected (The amount of cyanide, it is rumoured was enough to kill six men). Determined to finish the job, Yusupov went upstairs, ...

| | | | Holy Synod: Encyclopedia II - Russian history 1682-1796 - Peter the Great and the Russian Empire Peter I, a child of the second marriage of Tsar Aleksey, was at first relegated to the political background, as various court factions struggled to control the throne. Aleksey was succeeded by his son from his first marriage, Feodor III, a sickly boy who died in 1682. Peter then was made co-tsar with his half brother, Ivan V, but Peter's half sister, Sofia, held the real power. She ruled as regent while the young Peter was allowed to play war games with his friends and to roam in Moscow's foreign quarters. These early experiences instilled i ...

Theophilos Kairis, founded, with a few disciples, a pietistic revivalist movement, known as Theosebism - something analogous to the Moravians or the Brethren of Count Zinzendorf.

Starting from 1826, Kairis dedicated himself to an institute for orphan of the greek revolution on Andros. The "orphantropio", or orphan school, presented Kairis to introduce to the greek education system a wide range of subje ...

| | | | Holy Synod: Encyclopedia II - Konstantin Pobedonostsev - Doctrine Pobedonostsev held the view that human nature is sinful. Consequently, he rejected the Western ideals of freedom and independence as "dangerous delusions of nihilistic youth". In his own works, he would often cite other writers without proper reference, assuming that "thoughts and words of one individual belong not to him, but to mankind in general".
In the early years of the reign of Alexander II Pobedonostsev maintained, though keeping aloof from the Slavophiles, that Western institutions were radically bad in themselves and totally inapplicable to Russia. At that period, he contributed several papers to Alexander H ...
