Abstract
The article discusses the ideological basis and practice of creating women's missionary monasteries on the example of the Perm diocese of the late XIX - early XX centuries. It is noted that the concept of a female missionary monastery was less developed by the ideologists of Russian missionary work, Archimandrite Macarius (Glukharev), than a male one. The project he proposed to create a women's educational missionary monastery was not implemented either by him nor during the creation of the Orthodox Missionary Society. in practice, women's monasteries became widespread as missionary camps, which served for the indigenous peoples not only as centers of piety, but also as model farms, charitable institutions, and centers of primary education. The creation of such monasteries was not part of church policy, they were founded on the initiative of individuals who considered it their Christian and civic duty to help improve the situation of the indigenous peoples of Russia. The activity of women's missionary monasteries was based on the concept of Ilminsky, which assumed Christianization through Russification, which was to be carried out by methods of education, worship and sermons in the languages native to these peoples, and the provision of charitable assistance. Women's missionary monasteries, arranged in the most remote and poor places, where there was a particularly acute shortage of churches and educational institutions, contributed not only to their Orthodox catechesis, but also to the assimilation of Russian culture, including more advanced forms of management, which had a positive effect on the development of indigenous peoples Russia. Women's monasteries were more successful in missionary work among the population with pagan views than among the Old Believers. The need for special training of nuns for missionary work led to the organization in the early twentieth century of short-term courses for them, which were also held in the Perm diocese, as well as to the organization of all-Russian higher theological courses for women. The involvement of nuns in missionary work was one of the forms of expanding the role of women in education and charity in Russia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
