metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article concentrates on one of the aspects of the Eastern question, the Russian struggle
  for penetration in the Eastern part of the Ottoman Empire in the 19th and early 20th century.
  This region of Turkey was an object of special attention for the Russian foreign policy. The
  ecclesiastical aspect of the Russian influence was of special importance: the preservation of
  Orthodoxy was an important task of the Russian representatives. The traditional method of
  material aid for the Orthodox monasteries and churches was widely used. They regularly received
  permissions for gathering donations in Russia. Another method used in the 19th century
  was the open support of the Orthodox population by the Russian consuls. During the
  reforms (Tanzimat) in the Ottoman Empire many secret Christians from the eastern regions
  proclaimed themselves Orthodox. The Russian diplomats after the Crimean war intermediated
  the conversion of the Crypto-Christians into Orthodoxy. The study of Trapezund and
  its monasteries by the Russian Byzantologists at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th
  century also contributed to the penetration into the region. In addition to the explicit scholarly
  results, their research helped to strengthen the Russian authority among the local population.
  The relationship and cooperation between the Russian commandment and the local
  clergy during the Russian occupation in 1916–1917 and the scientific expedition of Feodor
  Uspenskii were the last page of this history. Based on previously unknown archive sources, the
  article traces how different means of church policy served to strengthen the Russian influence
  in Eastern Turkey.
