| Sumario: | In the context of the events of the Russian Revolution, the author analyzes the
events in Omsk on February 15–22, 1918, when the attempts of the regional Soviet
authorities to implement the «Decree on the separation of church from state and
school from church» led to mass riots with bloodshed in Soviet historiography
called «priest’s rebellion». Sources from the two camps are published and analyzed.
The church point of view is presented in the reports of the newspapers Tomsk
church-social bulletin and Tobolsk eparchial vedomosti. The view of the authorities
is reflected in the memoirs of a prominent Soviet figure F. M. Shemis, who was a
direct participant in the described events. Comparing the information of the sources
with the works of historians and the memoirs of an eyewitness, the author comes
to the conclusion that a chronologically broader view of the unrest in Omsk is
necessary, as well as that the anti-Bolshevik «church side» was not a passive victim,
but a full subject of the conflict, which was a manifestation of the flaring fratricidal
confrontation — The Civil War in Russia. The published materials are of interest to
researchers of the history of the Russian Orthodox Church and the events of the
Russian revolution. |
