Summary/Abstract: The religious philosophy and philosophical theology of Russian religious thinkers from the turn of 19th and 20th centuries evidently belonged to intellectual current of religious modernism. This article juxtaposes the modernist Orthodoxy‖ of Russian religious-philosophical renaissance and various kinds of Catholic modernism, and places the reflection on the legacy of the Russian school‖ in Orthodox theology in the context of discussion between contemporary fundamental theology and integrism on legitimate development of ecclesiastical tradition. The article touches the problem of proper understanding of the doctrinal ecumenism.
