metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In June — July 1919, informal consultations between representatives of the authorities and a
  group of “֧progressive” Orthodox clergy were held in the premises of the Executive Committee
  of the Petrograd Council. They discussed the possibility of publishing an appeal on behalf of
  the invited persons condemning the actions of the White Guards and interventionists as well
  as expressing solidarity with the Bolsheviks in their struggle against external enemies. Meetings
  with the clergy were organized by the leadership of the so-called Common sub-department
  of the Petrograd city department of justice. This kind of initiative contradicted the state
  policy in the religious issue. At the same time, it corresponded to the directives of the Secret
  Department of the Cheka. The article describes the course and results of the “private meeting”
  of the summer of 1919; analyzes the proposals made by its participants, and the variants of
  the text of the final document discussed at the meetings. In the end, most of the invitees felt
  that the clergy’s performance with a politicized declaration was contrary to the Decree on the
  separation of church and state and therefore unacceptable. The history of the “consultations”
  that once took place in the Common sub-department unexpectedly became the subject of
  a “discussion” that unfolded in the spring and summer of 1921 between investigators of the
  Petrograd Provincial Cheka and a participant in the “private meetings” of 1919, one of the
  leaders of Renovationism in the Russian Church A. I. Boyarsky. The struggle to establish the
  truth brought about criminal prosecution and prison sentences for the archpriest.
