The issues of the History of the Church of Georgia in the book of Evgeny Shishkin „Caucasian priest-confessor metropolitan Anthony (Romanovsky): Biography“

The book of the priest Evgeny Shishkin „Caucasian priest-confessor metropolitan Anthony Romanovsky: Biography“ (Stavropol, 2006) is interesting for us, because the metropolitan Anthony was serving in Georgia as priestmonk and bishop from 1913 till 1926. In 1943 he also took part in the restoration of the Eucharistic relationship between of the Churches of Georgia and Russia.
From the book of priest Evgeny we focused on only the issues related to the Church of Georgia for discussing in the article. In particular, the author's attitude towards the restoration of the authocephaly of the Church of Georgia on March 12 (25), 1917 and the nationalization of the ecclesiastical property and educational institutions. In the article there is also criticised the fact, that in 1926 one of the reasons for the arrest of the Archbishop Anthony was declared his disagreement with the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ambrosi (1921-1927).
Let's assume, that the author of the book discusses the issues in the same way as the majority of the officials of the Russian Church have discussed in 1917 „angry about the selfwill“ of Georgians. He does not fully represent the illegal actions by Russian secular and religious authorities towards of the Church of Georgia. This misapprehension is not due to the lack of material available to the priest Evgeny.
