Abstract

The article deals with the complex problem of interfaith relations on the territory of the Crimean peninsula in the 1860-1890s. After the end of the Crimean War of 1853-1856 which was unsuccessful for the Russian Empire the national and, hence, religious contradictions in this region had been exactly intensified. They were most noticeable in the plane of Muslim-Orthodox relations (including in the plane of the relationship between the Greeks and the Crimean Tatars); relations between Catholics and Orthodox Christians; as well as the notorious “Jewish” problem, which had set the teeth on edge by that time. The Tauride Diocese was managed during the indicated period by outstanding archpastors among whom were missionaries: Guriy (Karpov), Innokenty (Borisov), Martinian (Muratovsky) Germogen (Dobronravin). Each of them left a special mark on the life of the diocese and did a lot to multiply the role of the Orthodox Church on the peninsula. Despite the outstanding service to the Fatherland and to the Church, each of the bishops contributed to the strengthening of proselytizing tendencies on the peninsula. The main source for writing the article was the materials of the Crimean periodicals: “Tavricheskie eparchialnye vedomosti”, “Tavrida”, “Sevastopol leaf”, as well as the latest Russian and Ukrainian church and secular historiography. In the course of the research it became possible to recognize that with these bishops help were made the attempts to resolve the most acute conflicts as well as to adapt the Crimean Tatars to life in the Empire, and to show the attitude of the authorities towards this minority in the dynamics of changes, at the same time not hushing up the existing problems. The same can be seen when describing the issues of anti-Semitism, which they tried to overcome on the territory of the peninsula with the help of articles calling to understand the phenomenon of the existence of Judaism and explain the reasons for the need for a tolerant attitude towards it.
