analysis) of the source base: the works of
prominent historians of Russia and
materials from state archives. The
relevance lies in the fact that the
materials of the study illustrate the areas
of the ministry of the ROC, poorly
described in literature. Knowledge of the
history of the development of a particular
social industry, including the role of the
ROC in the development of social
charity, is an integral part of any social
knowledge.

1. Introduction.
The study of the history of the
social system in Russia is updated by the
fact that with the development of society,
formation of states, cultures, norms and
traditions, questions arise related to the
attitude towards children, the elderly,
and the disabled [9]. The desire to see
strong and healthy citizens fit for work in
their state remains crucial in many
countries of the world over the centuries.
Different stages of the history of Russian
civilization transformed the attitude
towards the needy due to the changing
socio-economic conditions [3; 8; 22].
The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC)
plays an important role in increasing
attention to those in need and providing
them with the necessary assistance.
The present research aims to
analyze various aspects of the social
ministry of the ROC. The objectives
were to enlarge on the following areas of
this ministry: preserving the natural
environment and maintaining ecological
balance; providing the population with
medical care; pastoral duties in the
theater of operations during the Russo-
Japanese War of 1905 and the First
World War; raising money to organize
charity for widows and orphans of the
military clergy; creating and maintaining
hospitals for wounded soldiers; assisting
in cases of natural disasters, weather
anomalies, and epidemics.
A significant number of pre-
revolutionary researchers [14; 21] on the
problems of charity in Russia focused on
the attitude of the government to helping
the socially vulnerable and to identifying
the distinctive features of the state
charity system. A.A. Isaev [20], E.D.
Maximov [29], A.D. Stog [40], G.I.
Frolov [44] et al also dealt with issues of
public charity. S.K. Gogel also wrote
about the necessity to combine the
efforts of the state and society in
organizing assistance to those in need
[15].
The works by T.E. Lifanova
[27; 28], S.A. Shilina [46], O.V.
Golenkova [16; 17], E.Yu. Sycheva [41],
A.F. Nekrylova, V.V. Golovin [35] and
A.K. Mamedov [30; 31] are
characterized by a comprehensive
approach to the relevant issues and by
understanding the complexity,
inconsistency and multifactorial nature
