摘要

本文分析了1743年4月16日伊丽莎白·彼得罗夫娜皇后颁布的法令,这是俄罗斯帝国第一个针对赫恩胡特兄弟会的法令。尽管J. Eckardt(1876)和O. Teigeler(2006)将其置于利沃尼亚Herrnhut社区的历史背景中,但它在史学中被提及,但从二手资料中引用,并被解释为针对传教士的法令。作者以1720 - 1730年代包括Ösel岛在内的利沃尼亚Herrnhut社区的发展为背景,分析了1743年法令的内容和实施情况。调查案件Herrnhut社区的文档保存在秘密总理府的基金(RGADA)和部分复制编制的调查档案利沃尼亚大学司法,Estland,芬兰和保存在该基金AVPRI外事学院的透露,到1743年,圣彼得堡当局没有考虑Herrnhut威胁他们的布道或正统,他们也没有有任何教义本身的想法。首先,法令下令逮捕津尊多夫伯爵夫人,因为她1743年在圣彼得堡逗留的目的尚不清楚。此外,1743年的法令并不是针对在圣彼得堡定居的少数传教士,他们正努力通过俄罗斯帝国到达亚洲。总理A. P.别斯图热夫-鲁明和伊丽莎白·彼得罗夫娜女皇的内阁部长I. A.切尔卡索夫之间的通信表明,1743年对社区采取的行动主要是由外交政策环境引起的。对中央政府的主要威胁是一年前由地方贵族选举机构设立的委员会,即地方议会和地方议会,目的是调查利沃尼亚Herrnhut社区的活动。波罗的海贵族独立于帝国中心的活动引起了最严重的怀疑,因为他们的具体权利和特权,虽然得到了尼斯塔特和约的确认,但在18世纪40年代,对圣彼得堡当局来说是模糊的。当地贵族,在1720 - 1740年间,戏剧性地参与了Herrnhut社区的活动,他们发现自己处于一个艰难的境地,既要坚持教义,又要忠于圣彼得堡当局,履行1743年个人法令的要求。

“A Territory of Threat”: The Banning of the Herrnhut Communities in Livonia and Local Society in 1743
This article analyses the decree issued by Empress Elizaveta Petrovna on April 16, 1743, the first in the Russian Empire and targeting the Herrnhut Brethren Community. It has been mentioned in historiography but quoted from secondary sources and interpreted as a decree directed against the missionaries, even though J. Eckardt (1876) and, recently, O. Teigeler (2006) put it in the context of the history of the Herrnhut communities in Livonia. The author analyses the content and implementation of the decree of 1743 in the context of the development of the Herrnhut communities in Livonia, including the island of Ösel, in the 1720s–1730s. The documents of the investigative case against the Herrnhut communities preserved in the fund of the Secret Chancellery (RGADA) and partly copied in the investigation dossier compiled by the College of Justice for Livonia, Estland, and Finland and kept in the fund of the College of Foreign Affairs in AVPRI, reveal that by 1743, the St Petersburg authorities did not consider the sermon of the Herrnhut to threaten them or Orthodoxy, nor did they have any idea of the doctrine itself. First, the decree ordered that Countess von Zinzendorf be caught, as the purpose of her stay in St Petersburg in 1743 was unclear. Further, the decree of 1743 was not intended against the few missionaries settled in St Petersburg who were striving to reach Asia through the Russian Empire. The correspondence between Chancellor A. P. Bestuzhev-Rumin and I. A. Cherkasov, Cabinet Minister of Empress Elizaveta Petrovna, reveals that the action taken on the community in 1743 was largely prompted by the foreign policy circumstances. The main threat to the central government was the commissions set up a year earlier by local noble elected bodies, i. e. the Landtags and the Ober-Consistory, to investigate the activities of the Herrnhut communities in Livonia. The activities of the Baltic nobility carried out independently of the imperial centre aroused the gravest suspicions because its specific rights and privileges, though confirmed by the Peace of Nystadt, were kept vague for the St Petersburg authorities by the 1740s. The local nobility, dramatically involved in the activities of the Herrnhut communities in the 1720s–1740s, found themselves in a difficult position, torn between their adherence to the doctrine and the need to remain loyal to the St Petersburg authorities, fulfilling the requirements of the personal decree of 1743.
