    1. Church parish schools played a crucial role in the education for the poor, especially in remote regions of the Russian Empire. According to Kochetkova, Soviet historians mainly concentrated on statistics of parish schools[1]. This historiography also considered church schools to be inferior to secular primary and secondary schools. The author states that it is only in the 1990s that new studies evaluated positively the impact of parish schools on education. For example D.I. Latyshina in her work points out the positive role of the Ober-Procurator of the Synod (chief civil supervisor of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC)), Pobedonostsev K.P (1827-1907), who supported the introduction of parish schools in Russia on a large scale.[2] T.G. Leontieva argues that parish schools were genuinely popular schools and enabled the poor to acquire basic education.[3] A.Y. Polunov considers that parish schools became the basis of the ROC’s reform that strived, on the one hand, to introduce affordable education and on the other hand, to hinder the diffusion of revolutionary ideas.[4]

      The author also mentions several PhD dissertations defended in 1998-2005 that dwell on the 19th century parish schools reform in general as well as on regional level.[5] D.V. Kolykhalov in his study argues that imperial authorities followed the demands of Russian society for education and set up the system of parish schools that brought literacy to the most remote areas.[6] K.G. Kozlov supports the idea that ROC parish schools quite adequately and efficiently reconciled the interests of the society and the state.[7] Korean author Ban I.K. argues that the main function of parish schools was the reform of the society in order to boost its loyalty to both the ROC and the state, while actual education was a secondary objective of the reform.[8]
