Abstract:
Church and sects has always been a painful chapter in the contemporary period of the Russian Orthodoxy,which for centuries has been banned in Russia. From the nineteenth century it received regulation and support from the state.Thus, the missionary work of the Russian Orthodox Church began, which arose not only the missionary’s, but studies and martyrs for truth.New religious trends emerged, which weakened and destroyed the Church.The lay interests of the state and the
coldness of some social groups toward church were felt as well.
