Annotation The relevance of the topic chosen by us is not in doubt, since to this day there are no more or less complete studies of the issue. The period of the Far Eastern Republic is mentioned as a time when the state did not respect the church and the clergy without special respect, but there was no detail at all: to what extent was the disrespect of representatives of the state and part of the population to the life and health of the clergy. This is mentioned, for example, in 1923 and 1937–38. In the article, the author analyzes the difficult situation, which the authorities of the Far Eastern Republic created in 1920–1922 for the Transbaikal diocese. This time can be characterized as the constantly increasing pressure from the Republic towards the leadership, the clergy, the parishioners of the diocese. It was not expected otherwise: the FER government completely duplicated the decrees of the Council of People’s Commissars of the RSFSR concerning religion, the church (in our case – the Orthodox Church) and believers who tried to do it adapting the documents to local conditions. The article deals only with cases of organizing and conducting terrorist acts against the Orthodox clergy in 1920–1922. The author believes that there is psychological pressure on the clergymen, especially in rural parishes: here the members of the clergy were harsher, there was no legal culture of the population, the clerics were rendered without due legal protection by the state.
Key words diocese, clergy, attempt, parishioners, arrest, church, police
