Malorossijskoe current prevailed in XVIII century ". (1) The foreword The Beijing Spiritual mission to which activity bright pages in history domestic kitaevedenija are connected, has found the beginning by virtue of historical accident. The cossacks taken in a captivity by the Chinese armies in 1685 in battle at Albazine (on Amur), have been brought in Beijing and have based there a small colony. The priest withdrawn together with them - about. Maxim Leontev, spiritually okormljal captured and their descendants during a quarter of a century. In 1695. The Tobolsk metropolitan Ignaty (1692-1700) has directed to Beijing the priest and diakona which have delivered albazintsam necessary for fulfilment of divine services antimins, chrism, prayer books and church utensils. In sosluzhenii with the clerics sent from Tobolsk about. Maxim has consecrated in 1696 albazinskuju a chapel, having named its temple in the name of over. Sofia Knowledges Bozhiej. In this temple about. Maxim made divine services for albazintsev before the death which have followed in 1711 (or 1712) year. (2) Toward the end lives of force about. Maxim began to weaken, and to 1710 albazintsy have directed the application to metropolitan Siberian Filofeju (Leschinsky) that that petitioned about prisylke to Beijing the new priest. The pupil of the Kiev Spiritual Academy, comes from Ukraine, metropolitan Filofej has been appointed to the Siberian faculty in 1702. A severe Siberian climate it has undermined his health, and, having accepted shimu with name Feodora. In 1711 has retired in Tyumen Troitsky a monastery. Therefore the request albazintsev was considered by already new bishop - the Tobolsk metropolitan John (Maksimovich) (1711-1715) who have replaced accepted through illness shimu metropolitan Filofeja (Feodora). (3) The first Beijing mission (1716-1728). Archimandrite Ilarion (Lezhajsky) Metropolitan John, the native of Nezhin, was the pupil of the Kiev Spiritual Academy, as well as his predecessor - metropolitan Filofej. For short years of stay on the Tobolsk faculty of lord John in China there was a significant event: emperor Shen-Tszu (differently Kansi) (1662-1722) has allowed to send to Beijing spiritual mission for okormlenija cossacks - albazintsev and their descendants. Having learned about it, Peter I has enjoined metropolitan John " to select the most worthy people for service in an empire Chinese " - archimandrite, the priest and diakona. But in 1715 metropolitan John (Maksimovich) has died, and lord Filofej (Leschinsky) (in shime Feodor) has again borrowed the Tobolsk faculty on which remained till 1720. (Dismissed then on rest, it did not stop missionary activity down to the death (+1727), having turned in christianity more than 40 thousand "foreigners". (4) tireless activity it by the right has deserved a title " the apostle of Siberia "). Peter I asked the Tobolsk bishop to find on a post of the chief of mission of the person " reasonable and pokladnogo ". The choice has fallen on archimandrite Ilariona (Lezhajskogo), to well-known both Tobolsk lords - Filofeju and to John. Ukrainets the pupil of the Kiev Spiritual Academy comes from Chernigov, about. Ilarion was on the staff lord John (Maksimovicha) even in his stay by archbishop Chernigov (1697-1712). But about 1706 it has moved to Tobolsk in retinue of metropolitan Filofeja when that came back to Siberia after travel to Moscow on affairs of the mitropolii. In 1707 about. Ilarion has been sent by lord Filofeem, in a dignity hieromonk, to Beijing to albazintsam. After returning from China about. Ilarion in 1709 has been erected in a dignity of archimandrite and became the deputy Yakut Spasskogo a monastery, together with manager Kirenskogo and Klimskogo jails with districts. (5) In a post of the chief of the Beijing mission archimandrite Ilarion has been authorized at the end of 1718. In structure of mission have come also the priest, diakon and 7 pupils taken for studying of the Chinese and manchurian languages then to be engaged by translation of letters, received of Russia. The mission supplied with icons, written in Kiev, church utensils and prayer books, has arrived to Beijing at the end of 1715 or in the beginning of 1716. " she has been accepted here with special honour, - marked one of domestic historians. - Bogdyhan Kansi has enlisted members of mission in the maximum estates. Archimandrite has erected in tangerines of 5-th degree, the priest and diakona in tangerines of 7-th degree, and pupils has ranked as military estate that they could receive the corresponding state maintenance ". (6) Those years Peter I not casually preferred ukraintsam in church sphere and, particularly, in the device of the Beijing mission. By words istoriografa the Beijing mission hieromonk Nikolai (Adoratskogo), " for performance of such important problem, the look of Russian sovereign has addressed from the north on the south - to steady natures malorossov, hardened in the struggle against a Catholicism and owning then rather big education ". (7) Here some more words of the same author: malorossy, " possessing at that time big rather education, at the same time, were able to get on with Catholics that was represented to it (to Peter I - avt.) the important condition for success of their missionary activity in China where " ezuity had a jack from many times ". (8) About activity I of the Beijing mission few data were kept. It is known, that besides divine service poslushany members of mission were engaged and propovednicheskoj in activity. So, for example, in Beijing, from among inverted in Orthodoxy the Chinese serving at albazinskoj to church " in psalmochtenii " was. (9) Archimandrite Ilarionu could live not for long in China. The unusual climate and heavy conditions of a life reduced years of many members of mission. On April, 26, 1718 about. Ilarion has died. As archimandrite Sofrony (Gribovsky) (the chief of VIII mission), " Ilarion veins in Pejdzine (Beijing - avt marked istoriograf the Beijing mission.) 9 months with polovinoju. Chinese 9-th moon of 17-th day has died... Pogreben between Andingmen and Dongzhengmen gate ". (10) Many Orthodox missionaries have been buried then in Beijing. Here that was informed on a condition of burial places in 1807 when there was a change of structure of VIII Beijing mission: " the Cemetery prikashchishche (behind city) on prigorke has not been protected, on it there were crosses. In poluverste therefrom near road there was a tomb of archimandrite Ilariona (Lezhajskogo). Fencings were not. Still further in verst the Russian cemetery enclosed ogradoju, with decent monuments " laid. (11) Subsequently, per 1876, archimandrite Palladium (Kafarov), the chief of XV mission, has disposed to transfer ashes about. Ilariona on the general Orthodox cemetery. (12) After death about. Ilariona the structure of mission has much more decreased: 4 pupils have left from China home, and in Beijing there was one priest with prichtom from 3 person. (13) Nevertheless, among albazintsev kind memory of the first chief of the Beijing mission was long kept; " archimandrite Ilarion before the death which have followed in 1718, used special love on the part of the flock for zealous execution of the vicarial duties, - one of researchers marked. - it has deserved an arrangement and itself bogdyhana, monthly consulted about his health and about needs of mission ". (14) Attempt of establishment Beijing episkopii. Bishop Innokenty (Kulchitsky) Attempt of establishment concerns to 1721 Beijing episkopii, i.e. increases of the status of the Beijing Spiritual mission. In this connection there was this project? According to a member of IV mission ieromonaha Feodosiya (Smorzhevskogo) and the chief of VIII mission of archimandrite Sofronija (Gribovskogo), to this intention has served as an occasion the rumour promulgated come back from Beijing ierodiakonom Filimonom. It informed, that the Chinese emperor Kansi is ostensibly going to accept a christening and besides on a ceremony of the Greko-Russian Church. (15) It is necessary to note, that this rumour did not correspond to a reality. Really, emperor Kansi was favourable to Christians, but before acceptance of Orthodoxy by him was far. (16) However Peter I has enjoined to direct " certain in hinskoe the state " ieromonaha Innokentija (Kulchitskogo) after his erection to bishop. Thus, the choice has again fallen on malorossa, the pupil of the Kiev Spiritual Academy. Before the purpose in " hinskoe the state " about. Innokenty held a post naval ober-ieromonaha, living in the Petersburg Aleksandro-Neva monastery. And as under the sea charter made by Peter I, on ober-ieromonahe the duty within a week laid to visit each ship it is possible to assume, that about. Innokenty was well-known I reign. In March, 1721 about. Innokenty has been erected in bishop Perejaslavskogo. On April, 19 the same year lord Innokenty with retinue has left Petersburg to Irkutsk where should expect the further orders. But business about his sending to Beijing was tightened; on October, 6, 1722 it wrote to St.. Synod: " Foxes jazviny imut on opochinok, I on this time not imam where chapter prikloniti: I wander bo from a court yard in a court yard and from the house in the house prehodjashchi ". (17) The main obstacle in a way of lord Innokentija to China became, strangely enough, his high episcopal dignity. In this occasion the Russian envoy informed to Petersburg that to China without the decree hanskogo have not passed bishop Innokentija (Kulchitskogo), since " at a court yard Chinese the person evo, bishop, in great degree is esteemed: ponezhe it from Siberia pisan " great mister " from what Chinese have taken auspitsiju, that as if it prevelikaja the person ", adding thus, that " archimandrite and priests in Beijing will be accepted, and bishop will never be admitted ". (18) Business was hopelessly tightened; in 1722 emperor Kansi, and in 1725 - the All-Russia emperor Peter I has died. Began the new period in a life of the Beijing mission and in its attitudes with the Chinese government which was headed by emperor Young - CHzhen. There was a necessity to find replacement to lord Innokentiju, and on August, 4, 1725. St.. Synod has ordered: " If obstacles any on the part of Chinese not vosposleduet.., to go there (to Beijing - avt.) found in the Siberian province, in Irkutsk a monastery, Innokentiju, to bishop Perejaslavskomu. And if sv.arhiereja there will not admit to go this Irkutsk monastery to archimandrite Antoniju Platkovskomu ". (19) Lord Innokenty to go to China and could not. In 1727 it became the ruling bishop of the Irkutsk diocese and headed her down to the death which has followed in 1731. His imperishable power have been found in 1804 and are glorified by many miracles. It has been ranked as a face sacred, becoming " the heavenly patron of Orthodox mission in China ". (20) II Beijing mission (1729-1735). Archimandrite Antony (Platkovsky) Search of the candidate in a dignity of archimandrite on a post of the chief of II Beijing mission has been started in 1719. Having received news about death of archimandrite Ilariona (+1718), metropolitan Tobolsk Feodor (Filofej), again the manager at that time the Siberian diocese, has written the letter to the Tobolsk governor to prince to Gagarin (on April, 4, 1719): " on yours sijatelstvo, priimeshi on Boze jealousy, with preosvjashchennym Stefanom (Yavorsky) having advised, report to His Imperial Majesty, and having selected the kind and wise person, there, in an empire Chinese will send nezamedlja ". (21) The native sat Javora in Ukraine, lord Stefan was pupil Kievo-Mogiljanskoj of Academy. At the request of Peter I it has been appointed by metropolitan Ryazan, and after death of patriarch Adriana (+1700) - mestobljustitelem the patriarchal throne. So the question on purpose of the chief of II Beijing mission has been coordinated with the maximum church hierarchy then, under the instruction of metropolitan Feodora (Filofeja) (Leschinsky), archimandrite Antony (Platkovsky) has been elected as the candidate on trip to China. But just at this time there was a project about establishment episkopii in Beijing, and lord Innokenty (Kulchitsky) has involuntarily removed about. Antonija on the second plan. Nevertheless archimandrite Antony has been sent to Beijing with extreme envoy Izmaylov and was there till 1721. After returning from China about. Antony has given such response about Orthodox albazintsah, living in Beijing: " To church Bozhiju go both sv.tainstva and treby church observe... Svjashchennichesky a grade in respect have. To superstition not tochiju are not sticked, but the wives, in jazychestve real, to piety Christian pay ". (22) Having returned to Irkutsk, about Antony in 1725 has founded school at Voznesenskom a monastery where itself trained in the Mongolian language of children from families of clergy. (Among several boys in this school the future has been accepted Ilarion Rossohin, kitaeved, a member of II Beijing mission). (23) While "business" of bishop Innokentija (Kulchitskogo) lasted, vacancy of the chief of the Beijing mission remained free, that damaged to missionary business. In the meantime there was a correspondence, and the authorized Russian envoy of columns Savva Vladislavovich (Raguzinsky) sent by Ekaterina I to China for delimitation between both states has been involved in this problem. It has been interested in the sanction of this confusing affair, and under his petition the decree of St.. Synod in which the following, in particular, was spoken on December, 30, 1726 has been issued: " And if instead of evo, bishop Innokentija, behind range, from Sankt-Peterburha to send other spiritual person difficultly it represents, columns Vladislavovich, Voznesenskogo archimandrite Antonija who at Irkutsk lives, and some children learn language mungalskomu, and was in Beijing, and the person is sober and not without mind ". (24) At last, the order of the Tobolsk metropolitan Antonija (Stahovskogo) (1721-1740) and bishop Irkutsk Innokentija (Kulchitskogo) had been determined structure of II Beijing mission. The next decree of St.. Synod on January, 18, 1727 has followed; by the chief of mission archimandrite Antony (Platkovsky) has been authorized; in number of members of mission has been included ieromonah Ilarion (the Coward or Cowards) (subsequently - the chief of III Beijing mission). (25) St.. Synod has defined: " Pomjanutogo irkutskogo Voznesenskogo a monastery of archimandrite Antonija Platkovskogo and at it church attendants and trainees mungalskogo language of pupils departure to make preosvjashchennomu Antoniju, to metropolitan Tobolsk and Siberian ". (26) In turn, metropolitan Antony asked preosvjashchennogo Innokentija Irkutsk to promote departure of mission, and the set of curious details of forthcoming travel has been stipulated. For example: " About supplies so better can byti: to give state monastic horses, only also not with preizlishestvom that was on what to rise, which horses, having reached to Beijing, it should, archimandrite to return, or, prodavshi them, and the price for them in a monastery to send ". (27) In 1728 has been made Kjahtinsky the contract of China with Russia, defined border and uporjadochivshy trade relations between both countries. On the basis of this treatise the right of stay in Beijing Orthodox priests from Russia which the Chinese government, by an example of the last years, has undertaken to give out the monetary maintenance proved to be true also. Under clause of 5-th treatise, the farmstead transferred to members of mission, should and be at their disposal henceforth. " In this farmstead one will live llama (priest) nowadays living in Beijing, and other llamas who have to arrive. Russian of obstacles will not pray and esteem the God under the law ", (28) - guarantees were those on the part of the Chinese authorities. By this time in Beijing " in the house found for Russians the stone church " is constructed bogdyhanskim expense preizrjadnaja. (29) Besides in Beijing still was old albazinskaja the church which razed to the ground by earthquake in 1730 and has been again built up albazintsami. II mission led by archimandrite Antoniem has arrived to Beijing on July, 16, 1729; in its structure were the priest, diakon and 6 pupils. The temple which has been again built up albazintsami after earthquake, in 1732 has been consecrated anew, but any more in honour of Sofia Knowledges Bozhiej, and in the name of Uspenija Bozhiej Mothers. (this day, on August, 15 (style) is celebrated by an item not only Uspenie the Virgin, but also is rendered worship chtimoj to icon Uspenija Kievo-Pecherskoj (1073), and also an icon of Sofia of Knowledge Bozhiej). These years in Beijing it was totaled up to 50 albazinskih court yard; (30) Orthodox sermon was conducted not only among them, but also among Chinese that appears from the report of archimandrite Antonija from March, 25, 1731. The chief of mission informed in St.. Synod that 9 Chinese have accepted Orthodoxy, and all kreshchenyh Chinese of a male was 25 person, and 8 more prepared for a christening. (31) About the further missionary plans about. Antonija it is possible to judge on the basis of that it asked to send to Beijing 500 natelnyh daggers. (32) In Beijing about. Antony strove on printing a lexicon in Russian, latin, Chinese and manchurian languages, (33) cared about blagoukrashenii churches on an ambassadorial court yard. (34) But the next years the chief of II mission began " to show obstinacy ", having entered in the conflict to some members of mission. To archimandrite Antoniju it as the chief of mission, should bear the responsibility for their offences was not necessary to choose subordinates, and. So for example, according to the historian, " on September, 20, 1730 ierodiakon Ioasaf as a tangerine of 7-th degree, tipsy visors in bogdyhansky the palace, has made a noise there in chambers and has been accused even that has interrupted ministers, for what has got off daily only arrest ". (35) Attitudes have worsened about. Antonija and with the representatives of the Russian state who are taking place in Beijing. On a denunciation it have accused of waste of the money which has been released on construction of church in Beijing. On November, (36 And 6, 1734. St.. Synod has defined: " Archimandrite and his comrades (except for Ioasafa), having taken from China to replace with more reliable ". (37) In the same 1734 about. Antony has been taken out to Petersburg - in circuits and under guards. In capital about. Antony was we judge, it is deprived a dignity and it it is sent under supervision to number of brotherhood to the Trinity - Sergievoj laurels. In such position was here some years. Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, visited to laurels in 1742, has paid to him special attention and has asked the deputy of a monastery - archimandrite Amvrosija (Dubinevicha) about behaviour disgraced naselnika. Having received about it a good response, empress has enjoined to return to it a former dignity. In 1744 at its will it has been again erected in a dignity of archimandrite and Pereyaslavl - Zalesskogo Danilov of a monastery where stayed down to the death (on July, +15, 1746) is appointed by the prior. (38) III Beijing mission (1736-1745). Archimandrite Ilarion (Trusov) Soon after deposition of archimandrite Antonija (Platkovskogo) archbishop Novgorod Feofan (Prokopovich) (1725-1736 (39) has presented empress Elizabeth Petrovne the report in which it was reported the matter. On September, 9, 1734 gosudarynja has enjoined to appoint the chief of the Beijing mission ieromonaha Ilariona (Coward) who at that time, after returning from China, was in Petersburg. By origin it was ukrainets, 12 years served on Kamchatka in a rank ship ieromonaha, and has then consisted at Tobolsk arhierejskom the house. After erection in archimandrite, on September, 14, 1734 it has been appointed by the prior of the Irkutsk Spaso-preobrazhenskiy monastery and "nakaznym" archimandrite Beijing Sretenskogo a monastery. (40) Before sending to China about. Ilarionu the Synod instruction (from December, 31, 1734, ? 1983) concerning his problems in a post of the chief of mission has been given. It was first such instruction in history of the Beijing mission; she has consisted of 11 items and has been entitled: " About a post and action of archimandrite in the maintenance of and other to it improvised and in general in management ". (41) Basic attention in the instruction addressed on the statement in belief of flock (albazintsev); except for that it was authorized " blagorassmotritelno to call for piety and Chinese ". (42) On November, 10, 1736 the caravan with members of III mission has arrived to Beijing. It was year of the beginning of long board of the Chinese emperor the TSjan-moon (1736-1796). Archimandrite Ilarion has started the duties of the chief of mission, and in the same 1736 it has consecrated a temple constructed for some years prior to it " bogdyhanskim with expense ". The church has been consecrated in honour Sretenija Gospodnja, that a patron saint's day (on February, 2 st.st.) on time would be close to the Chinese New year. (43) the icons delivered to Beijing II more by mission have been transferred To a temple. As archimandrite Sofrony (Gribovsky), " informed subsequently the icons brought from Tobolsk, from koih the some people have been written in Kiev, and other Chinese in Pejdzine " wrote kreshchenye jesuits. (44) But the further destiny of the chief of III mission has developed as is unsuccessful, as well as his predecessor. To tell the truth, the reason was other; about it the chief of VIII Beijing mission archimandrite Sofrony (Gribovsky) subsequently has told. Here his bitter words: " Owing to untimely excessive in Pejdzine solitudes, fearlessness and uncontrollability of subordinates, to archimandrites the boredom happens, and with boredom great thoughtfulness is born, from koej they are forced much to drink fault which the excessive use though and in Russia causes considerable illnesses and stops much pijushchego a life; but in Pejdzine those fatal consequences betrayed excessive pitiju fault happen, for the Chinese wine Russian much vrednee why it on a local climate much should less much more likely, rather than in Russia use ". (45) The theory explaining the reasons " excessive diligence to drinks " is those. And concerning the chief of III mission further it is informed, that " archimandrite Ilarion from the above described circumstances began to drink a lot of fault ". (46) However, it was those then an atmosphere of stay in Beijing. It is visible from the instruction to the pupils who are taking place at mission; by him it was punished, that they " are hardy in Beijing, did not drink and without the doctrine in idleness of the days did not lose also any beschiny did not do, and to archimandrite were obedient without everyone prekoslovija ". (47) And 8-th paragraph of the instruction handed about. Ilarionu before departure to China, says: " Ieromonaham and ierodiakonu to available tamo Russian people ljudem on feasts to not go at all and from that rather them vozderzhivat, whether ashche necessarily as at whom to be and happen, by no means never would excite were and for that from intoxicated drinks extreme would have abstention, to a cry, fights, blasphemies, bezchinstv between itself and anybody by no means did not repair also that a censure and bezslavija to Russian people did not render; when happen vydti to whom during a hailstones on streets would treat chinno and it is comely, not zazirajas semo and ovamo, and without the reason not stopping ". (48) " Wine weakness ", finally, also was the death of the chief of III mission: archimandrite Ilarion has died on April, 22, 1741 and was pogreben on Russian cemetery in Beijing. (49) Health of members of III mission worsened for the different reasons; so, in the application ieromonaha Lavrentija about his dismissal from mission and returning to Russia, it complained that " from heavy Beijing air has run into considerable illnesses and has come to unconsciousness, why golovoju became rather thin ". (50) With arrival to Beijing members of next, IV mission, in its history the new page was open. (the Termination in following number) NOTES: 1) Nikolai (Adoratsky), ierom.
