Georgievskiy, E.V. Criminal law protection of property by the ancient Russian Orthodox Church

Abstract: Protection of property by the ancient Russian Orthodox Church has a rather specific character. By the time when the lists of the Synodal edition of the Statute of Prince Yaroslav on the Church Courts were formed, a number of encroachments on orthodox religious rites and other objects had appeared and formed as well. The Russian Orthodox Church considered the Eastern Slavic people were r eady f or t he r eligion, a nd s trengthened t he p rotection o f i ts o ther s ubsidiary o bjects. I n a ddition to the Orthodox Christian dogma the protection covered property relations regarding church property, symbols and constructions. Crimes against them were often unified by the researchers within the category of sacrilege in the broad sense of this word. Additionally the Church started protecting specific persons. Criminal law protection of property by the ancient Russian Orthodox Church was not among the priority goals, unless one is to speak of the property of the church feudal and sacrilege i n t he b road s ense o f t he t erm a s a t ype o f e ncroachment u pon r eligion. F or a ll o f s uch crimes the immediate object of crime was interests of religion and church. And when the church regulated responsibility for property-related crimes, it clearly limited the sphere of its influence with the family or specific feature of the object of crime, or with the methods of committing such crimes.
