264002. The Strigolnik Heresy

Pskov — Not random

Will happen within 300 days of January 2, 1422
Checked again every 300 days until trigger is met (cannot happen after January 2, 1423)

Description

In the late 14th century a movement of Strigolniks ('barbers') arose in Russian lands. The beginnings of the movement appeared in Pskov, where the clergy were particularly disordered. The Strigolniks defrocked and expelled ministers who did not renounce their preaching. Strigolniks believed that the fees charged by the Church for ordination and by the priests for the sacraments were contrary to the practice of the primitive Church. They held that the official church, with its wealth and formalism, was apostate. They formed congregations led by laymen who refused financial remuneration, taught the Bible to their flocks, preached the practice of confessing the earth, and set an example of humble, earnest living. Their doctrine was in many ways similar to the dualist doctrine, and was not systematised. The Strigolniks were persecuted by the bishops and clergy and were either stamped out or driven underground. Without widespread support, they exhausted themselves in the second half of the 15th century.

Description

Historically, in the 16th century the Roman Empire of Constantinople was long gone and its revival viewed as impossible. The Orthodox Faith never had a head figure like the Pope of the Catholic Faith. It however was mostly guided from Constantinople by the Patriarch there. As the Sunni Muslim Ottomans used the Patriarchs hostage-like situation for there own political gains many Orthodox countries felt appalled and started to loosen the chains of tradition. There had not existed a country as mighty as the Byzantines until...Russia was formed. Russia was created from the notion of full control of all those orthodox people that once had been Christianized from Kiev. This together with the fact that there was only one Orthodox country powerful enough to take up the mantle of the fallen Byzantines made the solution perfect and, thus the Greatest of Princedoms changed into the Empire of Russia.

Description

In 1426 he invaded the republic and forced it to pay tribute. In 1427 he made the borderland between Lithuania and Muscovy, known as the Wierchovian princedoms, subordinate to himself. It was composed of many small regions, which maintained their independence by maintaining tensions between Lithuania and Muscovy.
