A scientific educational activity of the Doctor of church law Alexander Ivanovych Pokrovskiy
Abstract
Аmong the different branches of law, the Church Law of the Eastern Orthodox Church is a holistic law system and a comprehensive branch of knowledge, which unites the judicial, historical and theological studies elements. Unfortunately, in Soviet times Church Law as a science and as a subject had been deleted from the programs of the law faculties. Even at the renewed seminaries it showed up only at the end of the XX century. However, the Church Law has close ties with a law culture, spiritual heritage and national traditions of the Ukrainian people, because it is an important source of the national law system. The resumption of research interest, therefore, in the history of the Church Law teaching has shown by the most modern Ukrainian researchers as one of the relevant targets of the national law science development.
In this article, the history of appearance and development of Church Law Faculty at the Imperial Novorossiysk University is investigated. The article focuses on the activity of Professor A. I. Pokrovskiy, who was the last specialist of this subject at the University. Once in Odesa in 1917, he worked productively at the improvement of the church law teaching, but with the beginning of the Bolshevik terror, he was forced to survive in the conditions of implementation of the destructive reforms in the education sector in USSR. The collected materials will promote renewing the pages of his scientific-educational activity and allow us to know about the important stages of his life and his scientific achievements.
