Effect of Orthodox diocesan centers on integration of the West Russian Black Hundred in the representative system (1905-1912)
The directing (axiological) function of the Russian Orthodox Church had main ideological value for integration of a Black Hundred under the auspices of the diocesan centers in representative system of the Russian Empire of the beginning of the 20th century. There are elements of the mechanism of integration of radical monarchists under the directing influence of hierarches of church in a representative system: a) Orthodox Christian axiological orientation; b) above-party consolidation; c) election campaign; d) Duma activity. It is shown Orthodox diocesan centers in Western Russia: administrative (Episcopal house, Church consistory), ideological (editorial Diocesan Gazette), and organizational (Orthodox fraternal congresses). Purpose of orthodox monarchic “revolutions on the right” is the creation of the “National Russian” Duma for the monarch unification with the people by Orthodox Christian principle of catholicity. Ideal folk peasant monarchy is “his” people's king. Catholicity (a political form - “Russian national administration under the scepter of his monarch”) is the main sacred ideal of Orthodox Russian monarchists.
