Upbringing values in the traditional Russian family in the context of the Russian Orthodox Church ideology
The article deals with several results obtained in the historical and pedagogical study of upbringing values in traditional Russian families from ancient Slavonic Russia (8 th century) to 1917. These results serve as a ground for explaining the cultural and pedagogical ideal of upbringing children in modern Russian families which identiﬁ es as its stable component during its historical development the value concept “Orthodox”. These results serve as a ground for explaining the cultural and pedagogical ideal of upbringing children in modern Russian families which identiﬁes as its stable component during its historical development the value concept “Orthodox”. Based on this concept a number of traditional national spiritual and moral value categories are deﬁ ned and interpreted in the system of family values in Russian families at present. Revealing the problem, the author relies on cultural and historical experience of traditional Russian families presented in historical, ethnographical, philological source material and archive materials of the Russian ethnographical museum and archives from the Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Novgorod and Pskov regions. The reasonability to investigate these materials is dictated by the research logic which underlines the priority of historical and pedagogical facts as a necessary condition for making research conclusions. It became possible due to the implementation of historical and systematic approach applied because of its ability to cover the historical and pedagogical reality holistically. The ﬁndings presented in this paper provide opportunities for their use in organising research activities, in developing curricula of diﬀerent educational institutions, in designing legislative and normative federal or regional documents on family law and on family education by state authorities of diﬀerent levels in order to optimize state cultural and family policy.
