Abstract

The article reveals the main activities of the Orthodox fraternities, which was mainly aimed at strengthening the position of Orthodoxy in the Podolsk province and its environs. Of all the fraternities, the most productive and influential was the Kamenets John the Baptist Brotherhood. It included well-known public figures, bishops, officials, wealthy representatives of the city and other provinces. They were the main benefactors and donors and provided the functioning and support of the fraternity. Other Orthodox fraternities in the province were less influential and had much less wealth to carry out their tasks. It should be noted that due to their capabilities, the activities of such Orthodox fraternities had a positive result and the members of the fraternities solved important and urgent problems of the local population. Conclusions. It was established that the main principles of the work of the Kamyanets Orthodox Brotherhood were educational and charitable areas, which provided for the care of children of poor residents of the city and its environs. This later manifested itself in the establishment of a craft school and the establishment of a shelter. The members of the fraternity believed that schooling would enable the children of poor artisans to receive primary education and to acquire certain profession. This institution was in great demand among the local population and surrounding villages, as it provided students with good enough skills compared to other schools to master the future profession. The educational work of other fraternities consisted of caring for orphans, caring for the poor of the village, arranging a church, and building a school.
