Annotation	This article analyzes a structuralist approach in modern historiography of a conservative thought of the early 19th–beginning of the 20th centuries, targeted at the study of the idea of statehood existing in a given space period of understanding, which is rooted in the public consciousness, expressed in the function of the autocratic Russian monarch. Conditionality of religious mission of the Russian autocrat − protector and guardian of the faith – has been shown by eschatological motives of the Russian Orthodoxy. The paper identifies methods of studying the dynamics of metaphysical connection of representatives of various social classes with the czar, e. g. aristocracy, clergy, commoners, etc. The researchers have noted deviations from the canonical perception of power common to the aristocracy and servants,among which the traditions of the Orthodox faith were most prone to erosion by the European liberal ideas and beliefs invading Russian society. The author defends the idea of necessity to distinguish between the historical meaning of the term ‘autocrat’ and such concepts as monarch, monocrat, sovereign (czar).
Key words	great − power status, autocracy, religious and moral function, structuralism, conservative thought
