Summary/Abstract: In this article I examine the views of Antony Khrapovitsky and Lev Tikhomirov. Khrapovitsky was Russian Orthodox metropolitan of Kiev, controversialist in theological and political affairs who attempted an exclusively ethical interpretation of Christian doctrine. Lev Alexandrovich Tikhomirov a Russian revolutionary and one of the members of the Executive Committee of the Narodnaya Volya, following his disenchantment with violent revolution became one of the leading conservative thinkers in Russia. He authored several books on monarchism, Orthodoxy, and Russian political philosophy, which quickly became the ideological basis for the Russian monarchist movement. He asserted the existence of authority and ethics as a fundamental regulatory force in society.
