Abstract: The objective of this research is to characterize and systematize the variety of symbolical and historical dedications of orthodox icons in rural areas of Western Siberia of the pre-revolutionary period. Different dedications of nation-wide and local historical events had a direct reflection in a religious life of the country by means of the acquisition of icons. The analysis of pre-revolutionary periodicals (Tomsk diocesan sheets) reveals the facts of mass tradition of acquisition of the icons by rural societies related to historical events, and the initiative of such dedications belonged to the authorities (secular and ecclesiastical) as well as rural societies. The iconographic choice of sacred images often depended on personified and biographic aspects of dedications of icons (patronal and name-sake icons). The authorities and peasants devoted a considerable share of memorial icons in rural areas of Western Siberia to the events from the life of imperial family and placed them at church schools serving purposes of patriotic education.
Keywords: Memorial icon, Western Siberia, rural areas, church, parochial school, the end of the XIX – beginning of the XX centuries, Tomsk diocese.
