Abstract
In modern Russia the Church endures the same crisis it had passed through in
XIX - the beginning of the XX-th centuries. The present moment is characterized by the
standardization of the modern civilization, the strengthening of rational philosophy and
science in human consciousness, the technological growth creating modern technocratic
culture. Nevertheless, according to the peoples mentality the Church is the keeper of the
historical heritage and societys moral principles. The article depicts relations between
the State and the Church. The author considers the State-Church relations, expressed in
the concordat - a mutual agreement between the two institutions, each of the two being
independent. In such a key both the mutual State-Church relations and the social system
connected with them cant be seen as universal and scientifi cally developed formulae of the
universal social-political harmony, but as the unique phenomenon of the Russian society.
