THE STRUCTURE OF INCOME-GENERATING ARTICLES OF A PROVINCIAL NUNNERY IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE XIX — EARLY XX CENTURIES
Abstract
The nunneries of the Russian province are an insufficiently studied historical and cultural phenomenon. In this article, we attempted to study the main sources of income and expense items of the Syzran Sretensky nunnery of the Simbirsk eparchy in the second half of the XIX — early XX centuries. Unpublished archival materials and published sources of personal origin were used as historical sources. As a result of the analysis, the main sources of revenue for the monastery’s budget and its expenditure items were identified. So, the capital of the nunnery was formed through the leasing of land and real estate, charity support from patrons and the labor activity of the natives. The expenses were allocated for the repair and improvement of the nunnery’s infrastructure, the hiring of labor, the maintenance of natives and the implementation of charitable activities. The articles of income and expenses of the monastery prove that it was an integral administrative complex in the city space. The economic activities of the nunnery reflected many features of the economic life of the country in the specified period.
