Abstract

The history of Russian female monasticism in the Holy Land is presented in the context of the formation of the State of Israel and the unfolding of the Cold War. The materials of the nuns’ ego-documents show the escalation of the conflict between supporters of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate and the emigrant structures of Russian Orthodoxy. Archival materials trace the motives for the participation of representatives of Soviet authorities in the selection of candidates to replenish Russian convents and hermitages in Palestine. Thus, by the beginning of the 1950s, the number of elderly nuns in the Gornenskii Convent was rapidly declining, and the decrease in the Russian presence in Israel caused serious concern to representatives of the USSR Foreign Ministry. Various departments of the secular Soviet state participated in the maintenance of elderly nuns of the Holy Land, stimulated the selection of new nuns, and took part in the selection of candidates for the post of abbess.

冷战沧桑中圣地的俄罗斯妇女：20世纪50年代增修修道院的历史

摘要

俄罗斯女性在圣地修道的历史是在以色列国的形成和冷战展开的背景下呈现的。修女们的自我文件材料显示，莫斯科宗主教区俄罗斯东正教教会的支持者与俄罗斯东正教移民结构之间的冲突不断升级。档案材料追溯了苏联当局代表参与选择补充巴勒斯坦俄罗斯修道院和隐修院的候选人的动机。因此，到了 20 世纪 50 年代初，戈尔宁斯基修道院中老年修女的数量迅速减少，而俄罗斯在以色列的存在的减少引起了苏联外交部代表的严重关切。世俗苏维埃国家的各个部门参与了圣地老年修女的维护，刺激了新修女的选拔，并参与了女院长职位候选人的选拔。
