NEW SOURCE FOR THE HISTORY OF “RESHILOVSKOE DELO” Podmetnoe pismo [Anonymous Letter] of 1732
Journal Title: Studia Litterarum - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The present publication is the frst edition of Podmetnoe pismo [Anonymous Letter] of 1732 which was considered to be lost. The appearance of the anonymous pamphlet criticizing the Holy Sinod church policy and foreign dominance in the Supreme power became a resonant event in the public life at the beginning of Anna Ioannovna’s reign. It caused years of judicial investigation carried out by the Secret chancellery during 1732–1738 later known as “Reshilovskoe delo.” Many innocent people were involved in this investigation and many were convicted. The pamphlet’s publication will help realize why this document was so dangerous for the state power and why it caused such violent reaction in the political circles of the time.
