Summary/Abstract: Buzhinskii was a well-educated, high-ranking ecclesiastic during the reign of Peter I. In his sermons, Buzhinskii devoted as much attention to the role of religion in personal life as to the nationalistic message presented in the religious context aimed primarily at the glorification of tsar Peter I. although his pastoral messages are mostly uncontroversial from spiritual standpoint, they are too often marred by nationalistic and political aspects.
