Russian and Slavic Orthodoxy in the Ambassadorial Report of Arseny Sukhanov 1650

The article shows that the justification by Serbian monks in 1650 of the fact of the burning of Slavic books on Mount Athos by referring to literary source about negative attitude of Greeks to Slavic booklore is based on the parallels between the situation in the mid-17th century and in the time of Cyril and Methodius. Arseny Sukhanov, who knew the shared Slavs literary sources very well, did not invent this text in his pamphlet, as his “Debate with the Greeks about Faith” was presented in historiography. He described real circumstances of the case in his ambassadorial report, where motives of Greeks, indicated by Serbs, Rusyns and even an Arab monk, did not play a significant role. The report, which provided us with interesting example of Russian and Serbian shared book culture, was turned into a polemical work many years later, in connection with the Schism of the Russian Church.
