The chaotic 18th century in Russia, or more specifically, the time between the death of Peter I and the coup of Catherine II (or 1725 to 1762), has been ignored by Orthodox writers. Russia came under the rule of a group of rapacious foreign oligarchs under the Freemason Johann von Biron of Courland (Latvia). This era, the Bironovshchina, saw the systematic persecution of the Orthodox church, with its bishops purged many times and its leaders arrested. The long-standing head of the church at the time was Archbishop Theophan Prokopovich, who openly hated and mocked the Orthodox liturgy, calling it “superstition.” The church was reduced to a shadow of its former self, and an army of new martyrs were created. It is about time the Orthodox took this seriously.
