metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article examines the participation of representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church in public
  and political life in the White-controlled South. In particular, the motives and goals of church authorities’ interactions
  with political forces, activities of supra-party organizations with a wide representation of the Orthodox clergy,
  and the “church” aspects of their politics are examined. The significance attached by these organizations to union
  with the Orthodox Church and its place in the socio-political life of the country is described. The characteristic
  of the activity of the only Orthodox right-wing nationalist party “Brotherhood of the Holy Cross” and the identity
  of its organizer, Archpriest Vladimir Vostokov, are noted as well as the attitude of church authorities, clergy and
  the public to it. Put this way, the problem for the first time in historiography is subjected to a comprehensive study with a wide range of sources based on situation reports from the Fund of the Political office of the Chairperson of
  the special Meeting of the Volunteer army, and documentation of the Temporary higher Church administration
  and the periodicals of the South of Russia. Despite the wide participation of the clergy in political life, the organs
  of ecclesiastical administration studiously avoided politicization of the Church that would draw it into the political
  struggle. The Church saw its task only in national unity while preserving the balance of political forces under the
  authority of the Commander-in-chief as representative of the legitimate government — an ally of the Church in
  the face of Bolshevism.
