Moscow cathedrals 1660-1667. belong to history equally to the Russian church and all churches of the East, revealing to God and the world both the heretical theology of the eastern hierarchs and the moral inability of Russian society to be a church society. The events of these years turned the royal power into absolute, and the church that entered into an alliance with it was made a church only by name; split Russian society into two parts: church - deprived of statehood and state - deprived of church. In the horizons set in this era, the life of the Russian people and their main institutions has developed and is developing to this day.
