Abstract
Aim. To examine the history of the emergence of the Orthodox Christian Renaissance and establish the place of its appearance, the approximate time and the reasons for its consolidation in the countries of the Orthodox Christian Slavic Civilization.
Methodology. The main content of the study is a comprehensive analysis of the written historic sources that reflect direct and indirect information about changes in the values and attitudes of the medieval society, with the involvement of historiographic material.
Results. A number of conclusions has been made which identify the geographical center of the genesis of the Orthodox Christian Renaissance and the role in this process of spiritual and political authority. The study also presents the approximate time and reasons for the consolidation of the Orthodox Renaissance in the countries of the Orthodox Christian Slavic Civilization as a historic and moral alternative to Catholic Renaissance.
Research implications. This study allows to supply and correct a number of significant aspects of the Middle Ages history in favour of Ancient Rus’ and the Orthodox Christian Slavic Civilization as a whole, starting from the thirteenth century.
