Восстановление богослужебной деятельности в Ферапонтовом монастыре в конце 1980-х — начале 1990-х годов (по материалам Архива Вологодского епархиального управления)

A detailed reconstruction of the revival of liturgical activities at Ferapontov Monastery during the late 1980s and early 1990s reveals significant challenges faced by local residents in re-establishing Orthodox worship. The study, based on previously unpublished archival documents from the Vologda Diocesan Administration, highlights the complexities of cooperative use between religious and state institutions—a rare instance in Soviet history. It provides a comprehensive account of this transitional period, including the list of rectors during this time and the circumstances surrounding the transfer of church premises to the diocese. The findings underscore the early efforts towards restoring Ferapontov Monastery as an active Orthodox monastery, which began in the 1990s.
