Abstract

The article deals with the papers published on the pages of the diocesan Gazette in Siberia in the late 19th – early 20th century dedicated to the Palestinian theme thanks to which the image of the Holy Land was established. The study aimed to analyze and characterize the image of Palestine presented on the pages of official periodicals of Siberian dioceses in the pre- revolutionary period. The activation of the Eastern direction in the foreign policy of the Russian government and the emergence of such a phenomenon as “Russian Palestine” urged the state to create an image of the Holy Land in the national consciousness. The implementation of this task was closely linked with the emergence of Imperial Orthodox Palestinian Society (hereinafter IOPS) in 1882, which had a fairly wide horizontal network of regional departments including the Siberian region. In addition to the protection of Orthodox shrines in the East, IOPS determined popularization of information about the Holy Land as one of the directions of its work. The analysis of pre-revolutionary diocesan periodicals testifies to the popularity of the issue, as evidenced by dozens of preserved publications related in one way or another to the theme of Palestine. Thanks to the established image of “the promised Land” the local population became involved in the events that given territory experienced during this era.
