Velikiy Novgorod click on the map to enlarge it On Trade Side Novgorod, near the shore Volkhova, in the territory Antonov Monastery next to the ancient Nativity Cathedral there is a three-story building built in an eclectic style with elements of neo-Renaissance and pseudo-Russian style at the same time. Nowadays this building houses the Humanitarian Institute of NovSU named after. Yaroslav the Wise. Initially, until 1918, the Novgorod Theological Seminary was located here, for whose needs the building was built. The Theological Seminary was first founded in Novgorod in 1740
1st Novgorod bishop Ambrose. Also in 1738
the Empress issued a decree Anna Ioannovna about the establishment of this educational institution in the city. It must be said that at that time there were theological seminaries in St. Petersburg, Kazan, Kharkov, the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, and Pskov. Novgorod, which had been one of the spiritual centers of the country since ancient times, was also supposed to acquire its own seminary. According to the Empress, the future seminary should. The new Archbishop of Novgorod and Velikiye Luki, Ambrose (Yushkevich), took direct part in this, having been appointed to the Novgorod See for only six months. October 30 (November 10, new style) 1740
The seminary was opened in the Anthony Monastery, the nearest suburban Novgorod monastery, one of the largest monasteries in Novgorod, which in those years was part of the possessions of the Novgorod House of Bishops. For her maintenance, approx. 8000 rubles (a great sum at that time, several times higher than the budget of other seminaries). At the same time, Ambrose understood well that the level of an educational institution largely depends on the state of the local scientific library. Ambrose assigned an annual sum of 300 rubles for the maintenance of the library, which again exceeded the budget of other seminary libraries. At the same time, he took books from the library of Feofan Prokopovich himself, a prominent church and political figure in Russia at that time. Ambrose arranged the seminary according to the model of the Kiev-Mohyla Academy, where he himself studied and taught at one time. In 1740, 4 classes were established at the Academy: analogies, infines, grammars, syntaxes. A year later, a class in writing appeared, and a year later, in 1742, a class in rhetoric and drawing. No other domestic seminary could boast of this and, in fact, the Novgorod seminary was not inferior to its Ukrainian prototype, only it was not formally equated with an academy. Empresses Anna Leopoldovna, and then Elizaveta Petrovna They treated Ambrose’s initiatives well. Largely because Ambrose got along with both the Brunswicks and Elizabeth. Before the latter, he “repented” in time for his relations with the overthrown Brunswick family and denounced other adherents of the former ruler. But at the same time, the order in the Novgorod seminary resembled not a higher educational institution, but a bursa. The slightest violation of the regime was met with severe punishment, including lashes and chains. Often people fled from there. In 1748 (that is, in the 8th year of the educational institution’s operation), as many as 96 people were already on the wanted list!). In the 1770s, the seminary began teaching history. But in 1788-1800. it was again reorganized into a four-grade school. Throughout the 19th century. The semi-medieval Bursak order was gradually eliminated; The attitude of teachers towards students has become more civilized. For the 150th anniversary, it was decided to build a new large stone building for the seminary, combining classrooms and living quarters for students and teachers. IN 1890
It was built on the site of former student buildings. The author of the project is G.V. Baranovsky names the architect Dmitry Vasilievich Lyushin (cm.
"Anniversary collection of information about the activities of former students of the Institute of Civil Engineers (Construction College, 1842-1892)", St. Petersburg, 1893, 400 S. (Brief biographies and portraits of graduates, as well as a list of students of the Institute for all years) (p. .21-21)
). On the website of Novgorod University the author is listed as Alexander Ivanovich Borshchov(cm. " History of education in Veliky Novgorod"). It also states that the project was approved by the provincial architect Raymond KazimirovichKrzhizhanovsky and the governor Eduard Vasilievich Lerche(1823 - 1889). The main facade was facing Volkhov. The building has survived in this form to this day. The opening ceremony took place on the second floor in the assembly hall (now the Soroka Center for Creative Intelligence). On the first and second floors there were classrooms, management offices, an assembly hall and a library. The bedrooms were located on the third floor.
StoryIn the 1730s, a number of bishops' schools were transformed into seminaries as a result of the introduction of the Latin course of study. The basis for the opening of a theological seminary in Veliky Novgorod was the decree of Empress Anna Ioannovna of September 21, 1738. The seminary was opened on October 30 (November 10) through the efforts of Archbishop Ambrose (Yushkevich) of Novgorod and Velikolutsk, who ordered it to be located in the suburban Anthony Monastery. In terms of the organization of education, the seminary was an almost exact replica of the Kiev-Mohyla Academy, and in terms of the funds allocated for its maintenance it left other seminaries far behind, that is, it was actually a higher educational institution, although it did not bear the name “academy”. For example, in 1765, when the Novgorod Theological Seminary had a staff salary of 8285 rubles, the Moscow Theological Academy received 4847 rubles, the Trinity Seminary - 4901 rubles, and other seminaries - much less. Besides the Novgorod Seminary, only the St. Petersburg Seminary had a full-time salary.
The first students of the seminary were the 100 best students of the school at the bishop's house, which remained a preparatory school for the seminary for some time. Initially, the seminary had four classes: analogies, infimas, grammars, syntaxes. In 1741, the class of poetry (poetry) appeared, and in 1742 - rhetoric (oratory) and drawing. In 1741, according to the design of the St. Petersburg architect Ivan Filippov, two stone buildings were built in the Anthony Monastery. One of them housed classes, the other housed teachers. A philosophy class was opened in 1746, and a theology class in 1748. The basis of seminary education was strict discipline. For violating the established rules they were subjected to cruel punishments, including whips and shackles. Flight from the seminary was common: in 1748 there were 94 people on the run. In 1788-1800, the status of the Novgorod seminary was reduced to the level of a four-year seminary. Throughout the 19th century, changes occurred in the life of the Novgorod Seminary. The rigor and severity of the bursa of the 18th - early 19th centuries gave way to a humane attitude towards students. For the 150th anniversary of the seminary, under the rector Archpriest Evgraf Megorsky, a new large building with a front facade on the Volkhov was built. The celebration of the anniversary took place on October 30, 1890, it was led by Bishop Vladimir (Epiphany) of Starorussky. The number of students in the seminary by the beginning of the 20th century reached 500 people. Annual graduations averaged 50 people. At the end of April 1918, the Novgorod Theological Seminary, among all theological educational institutions in Soviet Russia, was closed. Soon, an agricultural technical school was opened within its walls, and then a pedagogical institute, where an active struggle against “religious prejudices” was waged. In 1920, the Anthony Monastery was abolished. RectorsPrefectsInspectorsFamous teachersFamous graduates

An excerpt characterizing the Novgorod Theological SeminaryIt began to open again slowly, majestically, striking the imagination of Radan, who, like a small child, watched in amazement, unable to tear himself away from the unfolding beauty, unable to utter a word.– Radomir ordered us to protect him at the cost of our lives... Even at the cost of his children. This is the Key of our Gods, Radanushka. Treasure of the Mind... He has no equal on Earth. Yes, I think, and far beyond the Earth... - Magdalena said sadly. “We’ll all go to the Valley of the Magicians.” We will teach there... We will build a new world, Radanushka. Bright and Kind World... – and after a slight pause, she added. - Do you think we can handle it? - I don’t know, sister. I haven't tried it. – Radan shook his head. - I was given another order. Svetodar would be saved. And then we’ll see... Maybe your Good World will turn out... Sitting down next to Magdalene, and forgetting for a moment his sadness, Radan enthusiastically watched how the wonderful treasure sparkled and was “built” on marvelous floors. Time stopped, as if pitying these two people, lost in their own sadness... And they, huddled closely together, sat alone on the shore, fascinated by watching how the emerald sparkled ever wider and wider... And how wonderfully it burned on Magdalene’s hand The Key of the Gods – left by Radomir, an amazing “smart” crystal... Several long months have passed since that sad evening, bringing the Knights of the Temple and Magdalene another grave loss - the Magus John, who was an irreplaceable friend for them, a Teacher, a faithful and powerful support, died unexpectedly and cruelly... The Knights of the Temple sincerely and deeply mourned him. If the death of Radomir left their hearts wounded and indignant, then with the loss of John their world became cold and incredibly alien... Friends were not even allowed to bury (as was their custom - burning) John’s mangled body. The Jews simply buried him in the ground, which horrified all the Knights of the Temple. But Magdalene at least managed to buy back (!) his severed head, which the Jews did not want to give up for anything, because they considered it too dangerous - they considered John a great Magician and Sorcerer... So, with the sad burden of heavy losses, Magdalene and her little daughter Vesta, guarded by six Templars, finally decided to embark on a long and difficult journey - to the wondrous country of Occitania, so far known only to Magdalene... Having fallen in love with tiny Montsegur, which was the most magical castle in the Valley (since it stood at the “transition point” to other worlds), Magdalene and her daughter soon began to slowly move there. They began to settle into their new, still unfamiliar, House... All the adult friends around Vesta tried their best to dispel her dejected state, but the little girl did not want to open her grieving heart to anyone. The only one who would probably be able to help was Radan. But he was also far away, along with Svetodar. Teachers and students. In 1788, under Metropolitan of Novgorod and St. Petersburg Gabriel Petrov, the St. Petersburg Theological Seminary became the main one, and in 1797 it was transformed into the Theological Academy. Senior classes were transferred there from Novgorod. The status of the Novgorod Seminary is downgraded to the level of a four-year seminary. This situation remained until 1800, when the seminary was restored to its previous size. The Novgorod Archbishop paid great attention to the seminary at the beginning of the 19th century. Ambrose Podobedov. He gave her a telescope, and a microscope was sent from the Alexander Nevsky Academy. Under him, a medical class was opened at the seminary. In 1804, Ambrose entrusted the educational institution with “special supervision” to the Right Reverend Vicar of Novgorod Evgeniy Bolkhovitinov- a famous scientist-historian, member of the Russian Academy, champion of spiritual enlightenment in Russia. Evgeniy Bolkhovitinov sought to teach seminarians to think independently, for which he loved to organize debates. He often attended exams. At public exams, Evgeniy Bolkhovitinov read for the first time his work “Historical Conversations about the Antiquities of Veliky Novgorod,” published in 1807. Bolkhovitinov's stay in Novgorod (until 1808) turned out, despite its brevity, to be very fruitful. Here he began compiling a “dictionary of secular writers.” He worked a lot in the monastery archives, got acquainted with the library and archives of the St. Sophia Cathedral. Bolkhovitinov donated his own funds to the formation of the seminary library and gave it his books. Wherever this man had to work - in Pskov, Vologda, Kyiv - everywhere he was engaged in historical research and left hundreds of articles and books for his descendants. Under Bolkhovitinov, a former graduate taught at the seminary, and from 1808 - rector - Ambrose (Ornatsky), the main compiler of the epoch-making work “History of the Russian Hierarchy” in six parts, which has not lost its scientific significance, which was published from 1807 to 1815. He dedicated his work to the founder of the Novgorod Theological Seminary, Ambrose Yushkevich. Evgeniy Bolkhovitinov also took part in compiling the first set of history. The rector of the seminary (1823-1827) Ignatius Semenov was distinguished by his oratory. He introduced church archeology into teaching. Anatoly Pavlinsky (1840-1852) ran the seminary for 12 years. He was a thrifty man, he did a lot to improve the lives of students and put the area in order. But the most important thing that was done on his instructions was that book catalogs were compiled in the library. From 1860 to 1866 the position of rector at the seminary was filled by archimandrite Macarius (Mirolyubov)– scientist, expert on church antiquities, member of the Moscow Society of History and Russian Antiquities, author of a number of historical studies. He wrote and published several valuable works on Novgorod history: “Archaeological description of church antiquities of Novgorod and its environs”, “Description of the Novgorod Yuryev Monastery”, “Description of the Novgorod bishop’s house”. In 1896–97 The Novgorod seminary was headed by a famous church figure Arseny (Stadnitsky) . Novgorod Theological Seminary. 1902-1909" The rector of the seminary and the archimandrite of the monastery at the beginning of the twentieth century was Dmitry Sperovsky, the future bishop of Sukhumi - an honorary member of the Novgorod Society of Lovers of Antiquity, a man passionate about church history. With his direct participation, frescoes were unveiled in the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary at the St. Anthony Monastery. During his tenure, the chapel of Tikhon of Zadonsk in the Church of the Presentation was built and consecrated. He found and published in the “Proceedings of the XV Archaeological Congress” an inventory of the Anthony Monastery of 1696. Rector of the Novgorod Theological Seminary in 1911-1913. was Archimandrite Alexy (S.V. Simansky), the future Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Alexy I . At the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th centuries. the range of subjects studied at the seminary was expanded. In addition to special disciplines: catechism, church and biblical history, liturgy, and theology, the program included physics, mathematics, logic, and psychology. Much attention was paid to the study of languages; the education system included five languages: Latin, Greek, French, German and Hebrew. Of great importance was the participation of seminary teachers in the educational activities of the society among the clergy and the local population: giving public lectures, publishing materials on the history and archeology of the local region in the Diocesan and Provincial Gazette, compiling a historical and statistical description of the diocese and replenishing the collection of church antiquities. In the 90s of the 19th century, teachers of the Novgorod Seminary participated in the work of the Novgorod Society of Lovers of Antiquities, created in 1894 by a scientist, local historian, and archaeologist V.S. Peredolsky . In 1913, a church-archaeological society appeared in Novgorod, created by Archbishop Arseny (Stadnitsky), and among its active members were seminary teachers A.V. Gedevsky, V.N. Finikov, A.P. Tverdynsky and others. In the 1880s, the old educational buildings built under Ambrose Yushkevich were dismantled and in their place, according to the design of the provincial architect A.I. Borshchov, a new magnificent building was built, which has survived to this day. The three-story building with a basement has an L-shaped plan. The main facade, facing Volkhov, has three small projections. The architecture is designed in the spirit of eclecticism, using motifs of the Renaissance and Old Russian architecture. In the assembly hall of the new building on October 30, 1890, celebrations dedicated to the 150th anniversary of this educational institution took place, where the following speakers addressed the audience: Metropolitan of Novgorod and St. Petersburg Isidor, rector E.I. Megorsky, teachers, graduates.

In 1847 he graduated from the Novgorod Theological Seminary Nikolai Gavrilovich Bogoslovsky, local historian, archaeologist, researcher. One of the main affairs of N.

Barsov dedicated a substantial monograph in three volumes to the famous work of ancient Russian literature, “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign.” Another seminary graduate, M.I. Vladislavlev, having studied for two years at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, continued his education abroad. He defended his master's thesis and then his doctoral dissertation on problems of philosophy. He lectured on logic, history, philosophy, and ethics at St. Petersburg University, and from 1887 until his death in 1890 he was the rector of this university.

After graduating from the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Diamondov taught at the Tula Theological Seminary, and after successfully defending his doctoral dissertation, he was an ordinary professor at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy. The Tertsiev family also had more than one generation of church leaders and talented teachers who graduated from the Novgorod Seminary at different times. In 1913, the Tertsiev and Brilliantov families became related. Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren continued the pedagogical traditions of these families. The total teaching experience of the Tertsiev and Brilliantov families currently totals more than 1,500 years and is increasing every year. In 1918 the seminary was closed, and in 1920 the St. Anthony Monastery was abolished.

The Novgorod School was an attempt to create an Orthodox educational institution based on the patristic tradition, and not intended for scholastic disputes. Latin language was not taught here at all. With appointment Feofan Prokopovich These Novgorod schools were abolished by the archbishop of Novgorod. In the 1730s, a number of bishops' schools were transformed into seminaries as a result of the introduction of the Latin course of study. The basis for the opening of a theological seminary in Veliky Novgorod was the decree of the Empress Anna Ioannovna dated September 21, 1738. The seminary was opened through the efforts of the Archbishop of Novgorod and Velikolutsk Ambrose (Yushkevich). A document drawn up at the Holy Synod, apparently with the participation of Ambrose himself, approved by the Decree of Empress Anna Ioannovna of May 24, 1740, reads: “a seminary is now being established at the Novgorod Bishop’s House for teaching Latin, Greek and, if possible, Hebrew, starting from grammar even to rhetoric, philosophy and theology...". On April 12, 1741, Archbishop Ambrose addressed a report to Anna Leopoldovna, regent for the young emperor John Antonovich, reporting on his intention to choose for the construction “not a seminary, but a large Academy following the example of the Kyiv schools ... the monastery of Anthony the Roman,” where “there should be 10 schools on staff, as well as a stone library to contain books, and for better order and The supervision of this Academy is determined to be... an archimandrite and rector... following the example of the Kyiv and Moscow Academies.” The Bishop also asked “to follow the example of the Kyiv, Kharkov and other foreign ones to approve this academy with a charter.” Anna Leopoldovna’s report was followed by a resolution: “the use of the monastery of Anthony the Roman for the living of teachers and students is allowed, and the construction of a new stone Academy is also being tested.” The first students of the seminary were the 100 best students of the school at the bishop's house, which remained a preparatory school for the seminary for some time. In terms of the organization of training, the seminary was almost an exact copy Kiev-Mohyla Academy, of which Archbishop Ambrose was an alumnus. Initially the seminary had four classes: analogies, infima, grammar, syntaxes. In 1741, the piitiki (poetic) class appeared, and in 1742 - rhetoric(oratory) and drawing. In 1741, according to the design of the St. Petersburg architect Ivan Filippov, two stone buildings were built in the Anthony Monastery. One of them housed classes, the other housed teachers. A philosophy class was opened in 1746, and a theology class in 1748. The first graduation took place in 1754. The basis of seminary education was strict discipline.
