Frank Ramos 3AB

Both Western European and Russian cultural patterns have been influenced by their enlightenment periods, bringing an era of revolution and economic/ intellectual advancement. However, though they shared this in common, Western Europe went through the Renaissance, a time of new styles and inventions in secular arts and sciences that challenged popular religion, while Russian was becoming a major European power through Westernization forces brought on by tsars, like Peter the Great. Many of Western Europe’s innovations in finance and government started developing during

    In the year 1054, the Catholic Church had issues within the different parts of it. As these issues continued to pose a bigger problem, the church finally decided that it needed to separate and become different churches so that they could each conduct and run the church like they wanted to. The two branches of the Catholic Church that were feuding around this time were the Latin portion of the church, later known as Roman Catholics, and the Greek part, which were eventually known as the Orthodox Church. As we take a look back at these two branches of the Catholic Church, the differences and problems that they had with one another will be shown by evidence found in documents relating to the incidents and troubles that caused the church to have

    Thus Russia applies a technique of looking for Western faults while ignoring or shadowing its own deficiencies. This model could earlier be also reflected in more constructive forms as it existed as a mission of the improvement of various Western accomplishments due to the Russian/Soviet inability to offer its own break-throughs. As demonstrated by semiotician Yuri Lotman, Russian thinkers claimed a better understanding and implementation of the Greek doctrine than the original Orthodox Christianity (the Byzantine Empire acting at that point as an equivalent of the West). Later, the Russian interpreters of the French enlightenment once again claimed their better understanding of its main principles than the French. The Bolsheviks also borrowed their main tenets from Western socialist and communist doctrines and then altered them to suit their purposes and presented this alteration as an improvement (Lotman 2002,

  • How Did Peter The Great Influence The Russian Orthodox Church

    1416 Words  | 6 Pages

    Under Peter the Great, the Russian Orthodox Church was impacted in a variety of ways, ranging from general bureaucratization and administrative changes to a divorce of the language of the church from the Russian language at large. As part of Peter’s strive toward Europeanization, he came to view the current state of the Russian Orthodox Church, like much else in Russia, as “backwards” and behind the west, and in this case like in many others, he sought to “fix” that. Administratively, the church was bureaucratized. Most obviously, the official head of the Russian Orthodox Church was no longer a high ranking member of the clergy, but rather the Most Holy Governing Synod, effectively subservient to the monarchy.

    Part A: Two continuities that Ivan III, Ivan the IV, Peter the Great and Catherine the Great used to consolidate their political power over Russia was the use to religion and military support to gain more power. Ivan III thought that the smart way to consolidate his power would be to organize a strong army which held an emphasis on military and to also tie in religion and nationalism to gather and gain support for his campaigns. This also can be shown how Peter the Great created a stronger and more organized military and also improved weaponry. Another continuity was through expansion which all these leaders did. When Ivan III gained control he chose to unify city states and make ongoing changes which showed how Russia was growing and changing.

I also demonstrated how his drive for success and a lack of open-mindedness made him an unethical leader. Finally, I reflected on my own leadership as it pertains to these lesson principles, and my pursuit to continue growing as a self-aware leader. Perhaps there would be no Russia, as we currently know it, without Putin”, certainly he has shaped his country and has effected countless lives and treasure. Influential Russian author, Fyodor Dostoevsky might have foreshadowed such a leader as Putin in his book The Brothers Karamazov: “He understood very well that for the meek soul of a simple Russian, exhausted by grief and hardship and, above all, by constant injustice and sin, there was no stronger need than to find a holy shrine or a saint to prostrate himself before to worship”.
