    1. A look at the relationship between the Orthodox religion and the process of science development in Russia, from the author's point of view, is very relevant and reasonable for the following reasons:

      1) First, as in the development of the world culture in general, the Church and church institutions in Russia were at the beginning of knowledge collection process and until the advent of official science and scientific institutions were a concentration of scientific and pedagogical thought and education.

      2) Secondly, the attitude of the Orthodox Church in Russia to science and education before the Peter reforms and immediately after them, allows us to understand why in Russia the humanities always took precedence over natural science disciplines, which caused a fundamental difference in the development of science and education in Russia at the turn of 17-18 centuries from the countries of Western Europe, where this process has been relatively long ago (from 15-16th centuries - the time of the technical revolution), it went with a reverse scientific priority.

      This question seems to us especially important, since it was this traditional Russian attitude to the humanities and natural sciences that ultimately led to the official imposition of natural sciences from the Peter the Great reform period, which, in turn, led to a long period of their internal rejection of the principles of the age-old Russian concept education in all environments of Russian society.
