Some Aspects of the Correlation between Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Religious Propaganda in Orthodox Theology of the XIX – Early XX Centuries
( Pp. 103-110)

The article discusses the relationship between the understanding of such categories as “freedom of religion” and “freedom of religious propaganda” by Orthodox theologians and jurists at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries. The Russian legislation of this period of time, protecting the position of the Orthodox Church as “primary and dominant” in the state, limited the possibility of religious propaganda, giving this right only to the Russian Orthodox Church. However, the proclaimed freedom of religion caused a number of discussions regarding the completeness of religious tolerance in Russia and the place of freedom of religious propaganda within the framework of freedom of religion.
