| Research Abstract |
The aim of this research project is to re-evaluate the role of the Russian orthodox church and missionary in modern and contemporary, Russia. One of the most essential materials for the research is furnished by the diaries of Archbishop Nikolai, who led the Orthodox church in Japan for more than half a century. Russian texts of his, diaries were partly published by Professor Nakamura Kennosuke and others in 1994. In the term of this research project (1999-2001), Nakamura translated Russian texts into Japanese (published by Hokkaido University Press), then ;newly translated, and annotated unpublished texts of St. Nikolai's diaries during his return to Russia ("Report of the research project,"supplements I and II).
Grant-in-aid made it possible to purchase important research materials, including Trudy Kievskoi dukhovnoi akademii, Pravoslavnyi sobesednik, Trudy chlenov rossiskoi dukhovnoi missii v Pekine, etc. Articles written by historians in "Report of the research project" are more or less due to these newly available materials.
Grant-in-aid also made it possible to invite three scholars from Vladivostok and St. Petersburg (one in winter, 2000, one in Summer, 2001, and one in winter, 2002), who resented their papers to the Slavic Research Center's symposiums and seminars. International academic exchanges in this field are the most significant results of this research projects.
