ABSTRACT
The article discusses the question of the status of Orthodox parishes and clergy of the Zauralye since the implementation of the decree of the Soviet government «the separation of Church from state and school from Church» in 1919 and before acceptance by Presidium of the Central Executive Committee on 8 April 1929 decree «On religious associations», which gave way to the forcible ousting of religion from public life. The aim of this work is to assess the material situation of the clergy and parishes, the amount of financial and moral support of the Church believers, the identification of the degree of influence of religion on the population in the Zauralye. The relevance of the study due to the fact that the identification and analysis of the facts of everyday life of the Orthodox world in the post-revolution period, contribute to the understanding of the depth of faith and the role of the Russian Orthodox Church for an average believer. It is shown that in the period when the state decided the «Church question» by strengthening the ideological struggle, the administrative burden, legal and financial restrictions, deprivation of several civil rights of the Orthodox Church in the region continued to exist only thanks to the efforts of the parishioners. Indicates that believers not only took full responsibility for the material support of the clergy and diocesan leadership, but also made payments for the use of temple property and the payment of taxes, organized the protection and repair of Church buildings. The analysis of a wide source base, based on the archives of Tobolsk, Tyumen, Kurgan and Surgut analyzed statistical data on number of parishioners, weddings, baptisms and funerals in the study period. The data shows stable positive dynamics of these rites and the first baptisms of children. Was also studied the results of surveys in the region's schools and state institutions, indicating the preservation of the influence of religion on the lives of respondents and their families. It is possible to draw a conclusion that thanks to the help of parishioners in the studied period, in the Zauralye, although not in full, but preserved the episcopate and diocesan administration. It is also important to note that the parish was not completely destroyed. Parishes preserved self-governance and all issues were discussed and decided at meetings. It is noted that the growth of atheism and indecent behavior of the population against Orthodox priests and believers also took place.
