Bakhchisarai Dormition Skete is the Basis of the Russian Athos in Crimea: Revival and New Status of the Monastery in the Middle of the 19th Century

The article examines the prerequisites of the appearance, the process of development and the beginning of the implementation of the church-state project of Archbishop Innokenty (Borisov) of Kherson and Tauride “Russian, or Crimean, Athos”, aimed at restoring ancient Christian monasteries on the Crimean peninsula and introducing hermit lifestyle in them according to the charter developed according to the Athos model. The article considers the revival in the middle of the 19th century of the Bakhchisarai Dormition Skete, which became the base of the spiritual center created in the Crimea. The article presents new archival documents on the history of the skete during the Crimean War of 1853—1856. (the affiliation of hieromonk Ioannikiy (Savinov), who was awarded the Order of St. George, to the skete is established; the activities of other monks in the infirmaries are shown; the myth of the existence of a military hospital within the walls of the monastery itself is debunked).
